Arturo has a log that is 4 yards long. he cuts the log into pieces that are 1/3 yard long . how many pieces will Arturo have?

1 answer:

8 0

Arturo will have 12 pieces. For this problem, you need to multiply by the reciprocal. To do that, you flip 1/3 over to 3/1 and multiply that by 4. 3/1 times 4 equals 12. Remember that 4 as a fraction is 4 over 1. So you would multiply 4 by the numerator (3) because 4 is the numerator in 4/1.

Wilma earns $9 per hour at her job. Then she spent $15 on a birthday gift for her best friend. Write an expression to represent

frozen [14]

Answer:

Wilma has $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know how many hours she worked, we know that Wilma earned 9x dollars at her job. Then she spends $15, so we can just subtract 15 from 9x.

$9x-15$
