Answer:
Mixed numbers have a whole number followed by the fraction (2 1/2). You would say "two and one half." The other format is an improper fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator (5/2). Mathematicians would say that is five halves.
Answer: 19.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a proportion:
4/25 = x/120
cross multiply
480 = 25x
Divide both sides by 25
X= 19.2
In the hundreds place so its 300
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion that Alan solved was
x/200 = 8/25
His working as shown was
(8)(x) = (25) (200)
8x = 5000
He divided both sides of the equation by 8. It became
8x/8 = 5000/8
x = 625
The correct steps are
25x = 200 × 8 = 1600
Dividing both sides of the equation by 25, it becomes
x = 1600/25
x = 64
Alan's error were:
1) He got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200.
2)He got the wrong quotient when he divided 5,000 by 8.
Answer: Red copper = $0.12 per meter
Yellow copper = $0.22 per meter
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Red copper costs $0.90 for 7.6m, the cost of 1m of red copper will be:
= $0.90/7.6
= $0.12
Since yellow copper costs $1.12 5.2m, the cost of 1m of yellow copper will be:
= $1.12 / 5.2
= $0.22 per meter
