How do you use equivalent fractions to compare the fractions in each pair

Firstly you need to to reduce to a common denominator by multiplYing the whole fraction. This way you have to multiply 4/5 by 2 (both numerator and denominator). so 4/5 = 8/10. And now you have 8/10 and 9/10. You compare only numerators. This way you have 8/10 <9/10. Same goes for 2/3 and 5/8. Only here you need to multiply both fractions. The common denominator here is 24. So you have to multiply 2/3 by 8 and 5/8 by 3. You now have to compare 16/24 and 15/24. 16/24>15/24.

Jasmine buys 3 T-Shirts and 3 Hats for $11.25. The next day, he buys 4 T-Shirts and 2 Hats for $10. How much does each T-Shirt a
leonid [27]

Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.

As per given,

3x+3y=11.25        (i)

4x+2y=10             (ii)

Multiply 4 to equation (i)

12x+12y=45          (iii)

12x+6y= 30             (iv)

Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get

6y= 15

⇒ y = 2.5

Put value of y in (i)

3x+3(2.5)=11.25

⇒3x+7.5=11.25

⇒3x= 3.75

⇒x= 1.25

Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Bone-shaped treats are 5 for $3.50 at Shelley's store and Sarah wants to buy 12. She set up and solved this proportion to find h
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost
