e is 29 inches and o the left of the first birdhouse. Use a number line below to represent this scenario. Let 0 on the number line represent the red fence
1 answer:
Answer: The number line is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe the number line attached.
You know that represents the red fence post.
Since Julia is hanging the first birdhouse 21 inches to the right of the red fence post, then the location on this birdhouse on the number line is at:
Then you must plot it on the number line.
According to the exercise, the second birdhouse is to the left of the first birdhouse.
When you move 29 units to the left of the point 21, you get that the location of the second birdhouse is at:
(Notice that: )
So you can plot it on the number line.
Therefore, the number line that represents this scenario is attached.

Answer:
as a decimal is 1.735.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a fraction into a decimal, you first have to put the fraction into simplest form.
1. Simplest form
To do this you must find a number you can equally divide both numbers by.
That number in this situation, 5.
Now you must make this simplest formed fraction into a mixed number.
2. Simplest form into Mixed number
To do this you see how many times the denominator, the bottom number of the fraction, goes into the numerator, the upper part of the fraction.
Since 200 x 2 = 400 and since 400 > 347 this means...
200 goes into 347, once.
Finally, subtract and divide.
Remember put the whole number in front of the mixed number, before the decimal
3. Subtract, divide, decimalize
