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

A family wants to rent a car to go on vacation. Company A charges $45.50 and 11c per mile. Company B charges $60.50 and 13c per
Maslowich

Answer: Company B charges $(15.5+0.12x) more for x miles than company A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of miles.

Total charge = Flat charge + (charge per mile) x  (Number of miles)

Given:

For Company A ,

Flat charge= $45

Charge per mile =  11 cents  = 0.11   [ 1 dollar = 100 cents i.e. 1 cent = 0.01 dollar]

Total charge = 45+0.01x

For Company B,

Flat charge= $60.50

Charge per mile =  13 cents  = 0.13

Total charge = 60.50+0.13x

Difference in charge = Charge for company B -  Charge for company A

= 60.50+0.13x-(45+0.01x)

= 15.5+0.12x

Hence,  Company B charges $(15.5+0.12x) more for x miles than company A.

VMariaS [17]
From order of operations, we do multiply/divide first, then add/subtract. So:
(I assume that is 8 times 2, and 5 times x, solving for x)

6+8<span>⋅</span>2 = 5x
6 + 16 = 5x
22 = 5x
x = 22/5 (twenty two fifths)

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

30.5 ft squared
