Answer:

$6\frac{3}{8}$ feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jebb's Height Calculation:

The heights are given in <em>Mixed Fraction</em>. A mixed fraction is comprised of a whole number and a proper fraction, where as <em>proper fraction </em>is the one whose numerator is less than its denominator and <em>improper fraction </em>is the one whose numerator is greater than its denominator:

Shortest girl in the Sixth Grade = $4\frac{1}{4}$ feet

<em>Converting the height in improper fraction</em>:

$\frac{17}{4}$ feet

Jebb's Height = $1\frac{1}{2}$ feet x The shortest girl height

<em>Converting the height of Jebb in Improper Fraction</em>:

$\frac{3}{2}$ feet x $\frac{17}{4}$ feet

<em>To find the Jebb's height we multiply 3 by 17 and 2 by 4 to get a improper fraction of</em>;

Jebb's Height = $\frac{51}{8}$ feet

We can convert the above in mixed fraction as follows:

$6\frac{3}{8}$ feet tall.

Subtract fractions with different denominators

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

A fraction consists of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom.
The top one is numerator, the bottom one is denominator, and
These two numbers are separated by a line.

Let us consider two different fractions with different denominators

$\frac{10}{15}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Lets subtract the two fractions

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}\:\:\:\:$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{10}{15}:\quad \frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{5}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}3,\:5:\quad 15$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{3}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:5$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:5}{3\cdot \:5}=\frac{10}{15}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{5}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:3$

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{5\cdot \:3}=\frac{6}{15}$

so

$=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{10-6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:10-6=4$

$=\frac{4}{15}$

Therefore,

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

If y varies directly as x, and y =15 as x= -3, find y for the x-value of 6.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the answer is -30.

Step-by-step explanation:

for each x-value, you will multiply it by -5 to get your y-value. i say this because if y-15 when x=-3, if you divide the x from y (so 15/-3) you get -5 which is the number in which y varies by. so you will take 6 and multiply it by -5 which gives you -30.
