24 dvided by 4 is equal to 6. :)
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon:
16 x 2.75 = 44 cups
Okay so.
2/5=24/60 (multiply 2/5 by 12)
2/3=40/60 (multiply 2/3 by 20)
1/4=15/60 (multiply 1/4 by 15)
Then,
Add 24/60 with 40/60 which is 64/60 after you get that you subtract by 15/60 and you get 49/60.
Hope this helps!^^
The reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size. Note that the numerator of a fraction just tells you how many pieces you have of that size.
Answer:
JL = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter segment is a midline, so is half the length of the longer one.
2(5x-16) = 4x +34
5x -16 = 2x +17 . . . . . divide by 2
3x = 33 . . . . . . . . . . add 16-2x
x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then segment JL is ...
JL = 4x +34 = 4(11) +34 = 44+34
JL = 78
