The store that is selling 3/4 of a bushel for $9 is a better deal because you get more of a bushel of apples for the same price. Note:
The height is 10yd. 60 is the are of the triangle and the formula for finding the area is b*h1/2=area so you have to multiply 60 by 2 then dived the answer you get by 12 to find out the length. Hope this helps!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Not so simple. See discussion below
Discussion:
Consider these two examples:
0<= f < = 1, then (2/3) * f < (2/3) * 1 = 2/3
so the product is less than either of the factors
f = -5, then (2/3)* (-5/1) = -10/3
so the product is actually larger than the factor -5 !
In other words, the general answer depends upon the sign as well as value of the fraction. The problem probably meant that multiplying a positive fraction by a number less than 1 and >= 0 makes the product smaller. But as your see from the above examples, a more fine grained analysis is required for a full answer.
Thank you,
MrB
