Green.


You first must find the Least Common Denominator(LCD) of the fractions. You find that it is 20. 4/5 will turn into 16/20 because you must make it have a denominator with 20, and by doing so, you must multiply to get 20. 4×4=16, 5×4=20: 16/20. For 1/2, simply multiply by 10 to get 20 as the denominator. 1×10=10, 2×10=20: 10/20. Compare the two. You may convert the fractions to decimals to make your answer reasonable. 16/20 is clearly more than 10/20, so there is your answer.

P.S

16/20 is 0.8 as a decimal.
10/20 is 0.5 as a decimal.

Oh, and You're welcome!

Andi needs 5 1_2yards of fabric for a project. She has a piece that is 3 1_4yards at school and a piece that is 1 1_2yards at ho
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The amount of fabric she needs is 3/4 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of fabric needed, we need to subtract the sum of what she has at school and at home from what she needs.

What she has can be calculated by adding 3 1/4 + 1 1/2

This would be easier in terms of decimals.

3 1/4 = 3.25 (1/4 = 0.25)

while 1 1/2 = 1.5(1/2 = 0.5)

Adding both, we have 3.25 + 1.5 = 4.75 yards

What is needed is 5 1/2 yards = 5.5 yards

What is needed more is thus 5.5 yards - 4.75 yards = 0.75 yards

Mathematically 0.75 in decimals = 3/4 in fraction form

What is the y-coordinate for the solution to the system of equations?<br><br> {y=1/2x−4<br> {y=−2x+1
katovenus [111]

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

{y = x/2 - 4

y = 1 - 2 x

Substitute y = x/2 - 4 into the second equation:

{y = x/2 - 4

x/2 - 4 = 1 - 2 x

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = x/2 - 4

x/2 - 4 = 1 - 2 x

Add 2 x + 4 to both sides:

{y = x/2 - 4

(5 x)/2 = 5

Multiply both sides by 2/5:

{y = x/2 - 4

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into the first equation:

{y = -3

x = 2

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer:

{x = 2

y = -3
