Answer:

$\frac{7}{8}$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Four sister bought a total of ribbon = $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet

= $\frac{7}{2}$ feet

The sisters want to share the ribbon equally.

So we will divide the total length of the ribbon by 4.

= $\frac{7}{2}$ ÷ 4

= $\frac{7}{2}$ × $\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{7}{8}$ feet.

Each sister will receive $\frac{7}{8}$ feet of ribbon.

divide 3 1/2 by 4

3 1/2 = 7/2

7/2 / 4 = 7/8 foot each

What statement is true?

givi [52]

Answer:

$\frac{18}{32}>\frac{16}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which statements are true.

Solution to find the same we will solve each statement and will conclude the same.

1. $\frac{14}{21}>\frac{17}{24}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{14}{21} = 0.66$

$\frac{17}{24}=0.70$

So we can see that 0.70 > 0.66

Hence The given statement is False.

2. $\frac{18}{32}>\frac{16}{32}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{18}{32}=0.5625$

$\frac{16}{32}= 0.5$

So we can see that 0.5625 > 0.5

Hence The given statement is True.

3. $\frac{20}{15}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{20}{15} = 1.33$

$\frac{28}{23}=1.2$

So we can see that 1.33 > 1.2

Hence The given statement is False.

4. $\frac{29}{35}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{29}{35}= 0.82$

$\frac{20}{30}= 0.66$

So we can see that 0.82 > 0.66

Hence The given statement is False.

Which expression equals a number that is NOT a rational number?

rewona [7]

$\frac{3\pi.3^3}{7}$ is not included as a rational number !

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , following expressions & we need to identify which of the following is not a rational number . Let's find out:

We know that , Rational Number : A number which can be expressed in form of p/q , where q is not equal to zero !

Here Expressions are:

$\frac{3\pi . 3^3}{7\pi}$ :

Let's evaluate this expression

⇒ $\frac{3(\pi) ( 3^3)}{7(\pi)}$

⇒ $\frac{3^4}{7}$

Therefore , It is a rational number ! .

$\frac{-18}{5}$ :

Let's evaluate this expression

⇒ $\frac{-18}{5}$

Therefore , It is a rational number ! .

$\frac{5}{3-7-9}$ :

Let's evaluate this expression

⇒ $\frac{5}{3-16}$

⇒ $\frac{-5}{13}$

Therefore , It is a rational number ! .

$\frac{3\pi.3^3}{7}$ :

Let's evaluate this expression

⇒ $\frac{3\pi.3^3}{7}$

⇒ $\frac{\pi.3^4}{7}$

Therefore , It is not a rational number , as pi is included ! .
