How do fraction tiles help me subtract unlike fractions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leokris [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They let you see how one fraction compares to another for one.  Say you had 2/5 and 3/7 it may be tricky to tell which is bigger, but having the tiles will let you see that 3/7 is slightly bigger.  And there are many many more complicated  examples.  So if you know which is bigger you will know subtracting the smaller one will keep it positive, while if you subtract the larger from the smaller one it will be negative.

Also, you can then find equivalent tiles.  In the example I gave you would be able to see 2/5 = 14/35 and 3/7 = 15/35.  Which are like fractions you can subtract simply.

Madi has $8.80 in pennies and nickels.
shepuryov [24]
Let p = number of pennies.
Let n = number of nickels.

We are given that n= 2p and the total value is $8.80.

We know that a penny = $0.01 and that a nickel = $0.05.

So $0.01p + $0.05n = $8.80.

Substitute 2p for n:
$0.01p + $0.05*2p = $8.80

$0.01p + $0.10p = $8.80

$0.11p = $8.80

p = 80
So n = 2p = 2*80 = 160

Thus there are 80 pennies ($0.8) and 160 nickels ($8.00). The value of all the coins is $8.80.

Please explain how to do this. 7th grade math. Worth 20 points.

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\blue{To\:find}}{\blue{:}}}}}

The value of x.

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Solution}}{\orange{:}}}}}

\longrightarrow{\green{x=12° }} 

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}

We know that,

\sf\pink{Sum\:of\:angles\:of\:a\:triangle\:=\:180°}

➪ 95° + (3x +4)° + (4x - 3)° = 180°

➪ 3x + 4x + 95° + 4° -3° = 180°

➪ 7x + 96° = 180°

➪ 7x = 180° - 96°

➪ 7x = 84°

➪ x = \frac{84°}{7}

➪ x = 12°

Therefore, the value of x is 12°.

Now, the three angles of the triangle are 95°, 40° and 45° respectively.

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\purple{To\:verify}}{\purple{:}}}}}

✒ 95° + 40° + 45° = 180°

✒ 180° = 180°

✒ L. H. S. = R. H. S.

\boxed{Hence\:verified.}
