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

Write and solve an equation for each problem. Show ALL solution steps.<br> (Needs to be done soooon)
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

5.Area=1/2×b×h

Area=1/2×18×7

Area=63feet²

6.A=1/2(b1+b2)h

60=1/2(8+12)h

120=20h

h=6m

7.V=lwh

w=V/lh

w=1890/10×14

w=1890/140

w=189/14

w=17/2

w=8.5m

8.d=rt

320miles=r×5hrs

r=320/5

r=64miles/h

Find the length of side FD given that
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the length of side FD given that

Since both triangles are similar, then

AB= FD

2x+2 = x+3

Collect like terms

2x-x =3-2

x = 1

Get FD

FD = x+3

FD = 1+3

FD = 4

Hence the measure of FD is 4

HELP !!  The figure below is made from a rectangle and a triangle use the measurements shown below , find the area of the figure
Vika [28.1K]
The answer is 76. multiply 15 times 4 which is 60.
 and the triangle is the difference of the sides, so 19-15=4.
 so then multiply the base and height, this leaves 4x4 which is 16.
 then add the two. 60+ 16= 76
