Why are halves a good choice for benchmark fractions for 1 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and explanation:

Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it

Which point satisfies the system of equations y = 3x − 2 and y = -2x + 3?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The choices are not visible, however are unnecessary to solve this problem.

Given y = 3x - 2 and y = -2x + 3

[Set them equal to each other]

3x - 2 = -2x + 3

[Find x]

3x + 2x - 2 = 3

3x + 2x = 5

5x = 5

x = 1

[Plug x = 1 to both equations to check and find y]

y = 3x - 2

y = 3(1) - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1

y = -2x + 3

y = -2(1) + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1

Both are equal to y = 1 when x = 1

The point is then: (1,1)
