Answer: 1 1/2
You can write this as 1 & 1/2
The whole part is 1. The fractional part is 1/2
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let's say we had 18 cookies to hand out to 12 students.
How many cookies does each student get?
Using a calculator shows that 18/12 = 1.5 which means they get one whole cookie each
The leftovers is 18-12 = 6
Then notice how 6/12 = 1/2
So that's how the improper fraction 18/12 becomes the mixed number 1 & 1/2
So each student gets 1 full cookie, plus half a cookie.
------------------
Or we could do the problem like this
18/12 = (12+6)/12
18/12 = (12/12)+(6/12)
18/12 = 1 + (1/2)
18/12 = 1 & 1/2
There are 15 biography books and there are 48 books in total so the ratio is 15:48
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°.
(2x+4) + (2x-2) + (x-2) = 180
5x = 180
x = 36°
<span>3|-3| = 3 * 3 = 9
answer is
9</span>
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
15 min 3 racks
---------- = -------------
x 36 racks
Solving this for x: 3x = (15)(36) => x = 180 minutes.
convert this into hours: 180 min 1 hr
------------ * -------------- = 3 hrs (answer)
1 60 min
