No, while the difference represents the absolute magnitude of two numbers . . . for example . . .

The difference between 5 and 2 is . . . 3
The difference between 6.4 and 9.5 is . . . 3.1

. . . there is still the chance that the difference may be zero . . . in which case the difference is neither positive nor negative

. . . so in short . . . the answer is . . . <span>NO</span>

jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m.he needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m long.how many pieces of wood did jest

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m$

$Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m$

Required

Calculate the number of pieces

To do this, we have to divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.

Represent this with x

$x= \frac{Length}{Pieces}$

$x= 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction

$x= \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}$

Change division to multiplication

$x= \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$x= \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2.22$

<em></em> $x = 2$ <em> </em>
