First, let's convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to the improper fraction 3/2. We're given that it takes 3/2 days to install 3/5 of a fence. We're looking for how long it takes to install one whole fence - or 5/5 of a fence. To determine that, let's first find out how long it takes to install 1/5 of a fence, and then multiply that quantity by 5 to obtain our answer.

If it takes 3/2 days (3 half-days) to install 3/5 of a fence (3 fifths of a fence), then it makes sense that it would take 1/2 day (1 half-day) to install 1/5 of a fence (1 fifth of a fence).

If it takes 1/2 day to install 1/5 of a fence, then it should take 5 times that amount of time to install all 5/5 of it, or 5 * (1/2) = 5/2 days, or 2 1/2 days as a mixed number.

Answer:

8/9 will be left over

Step-by-step explanation:

3 7/9 + 5 1/3= 9 1/9

Now subtract the amount of paint needed by how much paint there is:

10- 9 1/9= 8/9

Therefore, 8/9 will be left over

What's the answer to this? And how do u do it

andrew-mc [135]

-5n - 3 - 3 > 19
-5n - 6 > 19
+ 6 +6
-5n > 25
divide by -5 on each side
change signs since dividing by negative

N< -5

For graphing on the line, you will create an OPEN circle on -5 and sketch it to the left.
