Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, it's reasonable.
What you are doing is solving the question by rounding. You come up with an answer. Suppose you loose the decimal somewhere and you get 0.36? Is that reasonable? Do you just write the answer in the provided blank and move on. What now?
You get it wrong?!!
But your estimate should be about 9/3 = 3. Now you look at your calculator with great misgivings, because it made a mistake. Did it or did you? Well ultimately you did, but you have to blame something. So the calculator takes the heat.
Who knows? Maybe the decimal doesn't work. It's stuck or something. In any event you should be aware that there's no way the answer could be 0.36 when you estimate it to be 3.
Answer:

Explanation:
The given addition exercise is:

The LCM of the denominator (5 and 3) = 15
Multiply 2/5 by 3/3

Multiply 1/3 by 5/5

The addition becomes

Therefore, we can fill in the vacant boxes as shown below:
Answer:
10. put a dot on the number 10
Step-by-step explanation:
3-(-5)-(-2)
when subtracting negatives, you actually end up adding
so
3+5+2=10
She worked 2 1/2 hrs yesterday and 4 1/4 hrs today...
2 1/2 + 4 1/4 =
2 + 4 = 6
1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
so she worked a total of 6 3/4 hrs....or 6.75 hrs
she is paid $ 54
54 / 6.75 = $ 8 per hr <=== what she earned per hr
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
b is the intercept
in this equation "m", the slope, would be one. the y-intercept, or "b" would be 15
