You will have to set up a system of equations
Decimal
To convert a percentage to decimal, you move the decimal point 2 places to the left. 600% - 6.0
Fraction
To convert a percentage to a fraction, divide the percentage by 100. 600/100 = 6/1 = 6
In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4 hours × (¼ in)/hour = 1 in
6 hours × (½ in)/hour = 3 in
Total snowfall over ten hours = 1 + 3 = 4 in
