We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.

Then, the five of them together ate:

5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:

5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups

This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)

5/4 = 1 1/4

Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4/16 + 1/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 note

2) 4/16 + 2/8 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 note

3) 1/16 + 1/8 = 1/16 + 2/16 = 3/16 note (sixteenth note with a dot)

4) 1/4 + 1/16 = 4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16 note (sixteenth note with 2 dots)

5) 1/4 + 2/16 = 4/16 + 2/16 = 6/16 = 3/8 note (eighth note with dot)

6) (1/8+1/16)+1/8 = 2/8 + 4/16 = 4/16 + 4/16 = 8/16 = 1/2 note

7) 2/8 + 1/16 = 4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16 note (sixteenth note with 2 dots)

8) 2/16 + 2/16 = 4/16 = 1/4 note

9) (2/16+1/8)+1/4 = 2/16+2/16+4/16 = 8/16 = 1/2 note

10) 1/16 + 1/16 = 2/16 = 1/8 note

11) 1/16 + 1/8 = 1/16 + 2/16 = 3/16 note (sixteenth note with a dot)

12) 1/4 + 1/16 = 4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16 note (sixteenth note with 2 dots)

13) 1/4 + 2/16 = 4/16 + 2/16 = 6/16 = 3/8 note (eighth note with dot)

14) (1/8+1/16)+1/8 = 2/8 + 4/16 = 4/16 + 4/16 = 8/16 = 1/2 note

15) 4/16 + 1/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 note

16) 4/16 + 2/8 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 note

17) (2/16+1/8)+1/4 = 2/16+2/16+4/16 = 8/16 = 1/2 note

18) 1/16 + 1/16 = 2/16 = 1/8 note

19) 2/8 + 1/16 = 4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16 note (sixteenth note with 2 dots)

20) 2/16 + 2/16 = 4/16 = 1/4 note

21) (1/8+1/16)+1/8 = 2/8 + 4/16 = 4/16 + 4/16 = 8/16 = 1/2 note

22) 4/16 + 1/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 note

23) 4/16 + 2/8 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 note

24) (2/16+1/8)+1/4 = 2/16+2/16+4/16 = 8/16 = 1/2 note

25) 1/16 + 1/16 = 2/16 = 1/8 note

26) 2/8 + 1/16 = 4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16 note (sixteenth note with 2 dots)

27) 2/16 + 2/16 = 4/16 = 1/4 note

28) 1/16 + 1/8 = 1/16 + 2/16 = 3/16 note (sixteenth note with dot)

29) 1/4 + 1/16 = 4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16 note (sixteenth note with 2 dots)

30) 1/4 + 2/16 = 4/16 + 2/16 = 6/16 = 3/8 (eighth note with dot)

Bonus Question:

1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 2/8 + 1/16 + 1/4 + 1/16 + (2/16+1/8) = 4/16 + 2/16 + 2/16 + 4/16 + 4/16 + 1/16 + 4/16 + 1/16 + 2/16 + 2/16 = 26/16 = 13/8 (whole note with dot tied with eighth note with 2 dots)

Change<br>2.215(1 and 5 are recurring/repeating decimals)<br>in form of a/b

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Answer:

2.215=2 43/200

Step-by-step explanation:

Showing the work

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

2.215=2.215/1

Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 103 = 1000

2.215/1×1000/1000=2215/1000

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2215 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 5,

2215÷5/1000÷5=443/200

Simplify the improper fraction,

=2 43/200

In conclusion,

2.215=2 43/200

Frank wants to buy three items costing $111.32, $28.75, and $73.21. If he earns $8.75 an hour, how many hours must Frank work be

Sedaia [141]

The three items cost altogether is : 111.32 + 28.75 + 73.21 = 213.28

So, he must work 213.28 : 8.75 = 24.3748571429...

Since if he works 24 hours, he wouldn't have enough money to buy the 3 items, so he must work 24 + 1 = 25 hours.

Recheck : 25 x 8.75 = 218.75 ( > 213.28)
