Answer:
im pretty sure it is .17
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is the second choice because since it is raining then, the conditional statement was false.
Answer:
10 ÷ 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below
Given that
Paul required to buy 5 by 8 pound of peanuts
And, the scale at the store is in sixteenths
So, the measure that should be equivalent is
Here the denominator should be 16 so it should be multiplied by 2
= 5 ÷ 8 × 2 ÷ 2
= 10 ÷ 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To write fractions with a common denominator, you will most likely need to scale some numbers up! I will explain how.
Let's try it with the fractions
2
3
and
3
12
12 is larger than 3, so we will have to multiply the 3 by some number to equal 12. (We are really finding the Least Common Multiple of the two denominators!) To do this, you have to multiply the 3 by 4, because 3x4=12. But now the numerator doesn't match the denominator. When you scale the denominator up, you have to scale the numerator up too! So the 2 must be multiplied by 4 also.
Now you have the following:
8
12
and
3
12
These fractions now have common denominators! Now they're all set for adding or subtracting fractions.
Try another:
2
6
and
3
5
: The least common multiple of 6 and 5 is 30. (the product of the denominators)
Transform each fraction by multiplying by "1":
2
6
⋅
5
5
=
10
30
and
3
5
⋅
6
6
=
18
30
One last problem:
4
9
and
7
6
What is the least common multiple of 9 and 6? Could you use 54? Absolutely, but it is not the LEAST number that you could use. How about 18? YES!
4
9
⋅
2
2
=
8
18
and
7
6
⋅
3
3
=
21
18

Hope this helped!
