So allison spent 3/5 meaning she saved 2/5 because 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5
change the 2/5 into decimals by 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
multiply $55 with 0.4
55 x 0.4 = 22
so she ends up saving $22
Answer:
These quotients are different because of what division means.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide you start with a total and break it into equal groups. If you started with three and broke them into groups of 1/5, that is different then starting with 1/5 and breaking into three groups.
If you had 3 cups of Chex mix and made servings of 1/5 of a cup. How many servings could you get? This is 3 divided by 1/5.
If you want to put tomatoes in 1/5 of your garden and you have 3 different tomatoes you want to plant. What fraction of the original garden will each type of tomato be in if they are evenly distributed.
1.06, 1.16, 1.6, 1.62, 1.66
Here you go:
3 to five or 5 to 3
The apothem is the distance from the center to the midpoint of one of the sides of a regular polygon. You can make a right triangle with the apothem, the line from the midpoint to the corner and the line from the center to the corner. An equilateral triangle has 60 degree angles (180/3). The right triangle has half of one of those angles so 30 degrees. Now we have a 30-60-90 triangle where the short leg is 5cm. The long leg, which is also half of one side of the triangle is thus

. A whole side of the triangle is

. Multiply that by 3 to get the perimeter of <span>
