A bedroom garbage can weighed 3/4 of a pound. A bathroom garbage can weighed 1/4 of a pound. Which is more

1 answer:

8 0

3/4 of a pound. Why? 1/4 & 3/4 have the same denominator so you just compare the numerators. 3 is obviously bigger then 1 so there is your answer. If you were thinking about let's say cakes it would be the other way around. Would you rather share it with 3 people and get small pieces or share it with 1, which can basically be yourself.

Answer: $\frac{1}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the common denominator

The easiest way to do this is by multiplying the two given denominators, which are 2 and 5.

2 × 5 = 10

So, our common denominator is 10. Then, multiply the numerators of the two fractions by 2 and 5. Here's why:

$\frac{3*2}{5*2}$ = $\frac{6}{10}$ We multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to make sure our new fraction stays equivalent to the original fraction.

Do the same thing for the other one:

$\frac{1*5}{2*5}$ = $\frac{5}{10}$

Finally, subtract the two fractions to find the difference between the two times:

$\frac{6}{10} -\frac{5}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$

The reason we used the common denominator is because we can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominator.

I want to cover the curved surface of a cylinder with orange paper. My cylinder is 14” tall. The diameter is 3.5”. I have listed

Dominik [7]

Circumference of the cylinder = 3.14 x 3.5 = 10.99 = 11 inches
so D. 11 x 14 is correct for the first part

area of the top = PI x r^2 = 3.14 x 1.75^2 = 9.62 inches

top and bottom = 9.62 x 2 = 19.23 = A. 19 inches
