a. 9/10
explanation:
• the denominators (bottom number) are the same so there is no need to change to a common factor
• because the fractions have common factors, you add the top numbers (3+6) to get 9
• then you put the top number over the 10 (9/10) and it’s simplified as much as possible
b. 3/4
explanation:
• each denominator (bottom term) is a factor of 12 so you have to change each fraction to #/12
• to change 1/3, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 4 (1x4 & 3x4 = 4/12)
• to change 1/4, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 3 (1x3 & 4x3 = 3/12)
• to change 1/6, you multiple the top and bottom numbers by 2 (1x2 & 6x2 = 2/12)
• then you add each of the top numbers (4+3+2) and put it over the common denominator (12) to get 9/12
- both 9 & 12 are divisible by 3, so you simply by dividing both by 3 to get 3/4
c. 1/3
explanation:
•the denominators are the same, so you subtract 5-3 without changing the denominator & you get 2/6
• then, because both numbers are divisible by 2, you divide both by 2 and get 1/3
It would be 6 toys per hour due to the fact that 30 toys divided by 5 hours would come out to 6
Answer:
idk for sure but id say 10x
Step-by-step explanation:
The wood is 10 inches and you're cutting it into 1/2 pieces, so divide 10 by 1/2, which is 20, The carpenter can cut 20 dowels.
