You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.

1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.

2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.

3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.

4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Jose trabaja en una capinteria su jhefe le `pidio que cortara 9metros en cuatro partes de la misma longitud cuantoi deberia medi
Anna11 [10]

Responder:

2 1/4 m; 225 cm

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado:

Cortar 9 metros en 4 partes de la misma longitud;

Por lo tanto,

9 metros / 4

= 2,25 metros

Por lo tanto, cada varilla será 2.25 = 2 1/4 m

En cm;

1 m = 100 cm

2,25 metros = x

x = 100 * 2,25

x = 225 cm

11,20,29, Find the 30th term.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

372

There are already 3 terms. So, now you have to find the 30th term.

The difference of 30 - 3 is 27. Now, since you add 9 for every term, multiply it by 27.

27 x 9 = 243.

The third term is 29. So you add 29.

Your answer will be 372. Hope it helps.
