Take the 2/5 and multiple it by 3 to get 6/15....then take the 1/3 and multiple it by 5 to get 5/15. Then add this together (6/15+5/15=....) to get 11/15

Answer:</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem is sqrt(a^2 + b^ 2) = c, so:
sqrt(22^2 + 8^2) = c
sqrt(548) = c
23.41 = c
