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

Answer:

w=10

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to set 5w-4=46.

5w-4=46

Add 4 to both sides

5w=50

Divide both sides by 5

w=10

Can someone please help me!!!

The correct answer is the first one(a): To get the system B,..., the first equation multiplied by 4...

Explanation:

1. Let us first multiple the first equation in System A with 4, we would get:
4(2x - y) = 4 * 3

=> 8x - 4y = 12 --- (A)

Now add the equation (A) and the second equation of System A:

8x  - 4y = 12
3x + 4y = 10
------------------
11x = 22 

Hence,
System B:
2x - y = 3
11x = 22
