Think:

7:55 a.m. is 5 minutes (5/60 hrs) before 8 a.m.;

from 8 to noon it's 4 hours, and from noon to 2:40 p.m. is 2 2/3 hours.

Thus, you're in school 5/60 hrs + 4 hrs + 2 2/3 hrs, or

6 2/3 hrs + 5/60 hrs, or 6 40/60 hrs + 5/60 hrs, or

6 45/60 hrs, or 6 3/4 hrs.

Of course there are other ways in which you could do this problem:

4 hrs 5 min plus 2 hrs 40 min comes out to 6 hrs 45 min, or 6 3/4 hrs.

Three friends share a pizza.one eighth falls on the fall and is thrown away.the remainder is shared equally..what fraction of th

maria [59]

If one eighth of the pizza falls, that leaves seven eights of the pizza to be shared:

$1\ (whole\ pizza) -\frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{8}$

If the 7/8 pizza is shared between three people, then you have to divide 7/8 by 3. We know that dividing a fraction by 3 is the same as multiplying by 1/3:

$\frac{7}{8} \div 3\\\\\frac{7}{8}*\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{7*1}{8*3}\\\\frac{7}{24}$

Therefore, each person gets 7/24 of the whole pizza.

The number which is express in each of the models as given in the image attached to the task content are as follows;

a). 1.37

b). 1.37

c). 1.37.

<h3>What numbers are expressed according to the given models in the task content?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the models describe that One flat represents 1 whole, One rod represents 1 tenth and one unit represents 1 hundredth.

It therefore follows from the task content that in each of the models, the algebraic sum of flat(s), rods and units as the case may be results in the value; 1.37 as the utmost number represented by the models.
