Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a decimal that does not terminate. 1/3 is equivalent to .3333333333 and so on. it never ends
To solve this problem, you must find a common denominator. First, you multiply the denominators together, then, multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the original denominator of the second fraction and vis-versa.
3*4 = denominator of both
2*4 = numerator of first fraction
3*3 = numerator of second fraction
Your fractions should end up being 8/12 cups of raisins and 9/12 cup of almonds. You can now compare these fractions.
Overall, there are 1/12 more almonds than raisins.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(d) 36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use your sense of geometry.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle will never be less than the longest side, and will never be greater than 1.5 times the longest side*.
That means the only reasonable answer choices will be between 30 and 45 feet. There is only one such choice.
The measure is about 36 feet.
__
If you like, you can find a more exact value using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance d of interest is ...
d^2 = 20^2 +30^2 = 1300
d = √1300 = 10√13 ≈ 36.0555 ≈ 36 . . . feet
_____
* The longest hypotenuse will be √2 ≈ 1.4142 times the longest right triangle leg when the two legs are equal length.
