<span>As of January 8, 2015, the U.S. is $18.1 trillion in debt. (Source: National Priorities Project)

1 Trillion

= 1 Thousand Billion

= 1,000,000,000,000

= 10</span>¹²
<span>
---------------------------

U.S National debt currently stands at:

$ 18.1 x 10</span>¹²
<span>
*<em>What information would be lost?</em> Well firstly the 0's. The 0's put the size of the number into perspective. The word "trillion" would also be taken out of the picture, once again altering the perspective of the number.

Personally I'd prefer to hear "18.1 Trillion Dollars". Sounds more interesting.</span>

Skye had 12 1/4 meters of ribbon. She used 2/3 of it to wrap a present and 1/2 of the remainder on a craft project. How many met
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

She has 2 1/24 meters of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Skye has 12 1/4 meters of ribbon, and she uses 2/3 of that.

To know how much she uses we have to multiply the total by the fraction she uses:

12 1/4 * 2/3,

12 1/4 is the same as 49/4, so we can solve by multiplying the nominators and denominators:

49/4 * 2/3 = 49/6;

So she used 49/4 meters of ribbon or 8.167 m.

Now we are going to see how much ribbon is left by subtracting from the total what she used:

12 1/4 - 49/4 = 49/12 meters that she has left.

And out of those she uses 1/2, so we are going to multiply what she has left by 1/2:

49/12 * 1/2 = 49/24 = 2 1/24 = 2.04167 meters that she used of the remaining.

And because she used half she still has the other half of the remaining:

2 1/24 or 2.94167 meters.
