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

The area of the triangle extension is 12, because the total side length it is on is 18, and the segments to the sides of the triangle are 6 each, meaning 18-12=6, the height of the triangle. The base is given as 4, so 1/2(4x6)=24/2=12.

Add this to the area of the rectangle, 9x18=162, and 162+12=174.

The area is 174.

The correct answer is 1.

So, circle the 0 after the equals sign because the equation does not equal 0.

Anything raised by the power of 0 is 1.

This is known as the zero exponent rule :)
