first you have to look to the right of that number .check if it is more than 5. if it is ,than add one to the first digit in the quotient. all the other numbers will turn to zeroes.
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
Hi there!
Let’s take a look at the question.
One can of paint contains 2 2/5. We can make it easier by transforming the fraction (2 2/5) to a decimal (2.4). Now you have 2.4. Next, it says “one dozen”. One dozen refers to 12 cans. You’ll want to multiply 2.4 with 12.
Your answer is 28.8, or 28 4/5.
Hope this helps!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
20
Discussion:
Let (x1,y1) = (-8, -6) and (x2,y2) = (4,10). Per the distance formula,
Distance = sqrt ( (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 ) so
Distance = sqrt ( (-8-4)^2 + (-6-10)^2 )
= sqrt( (12)^2 + (-16)^2 )
= sqrt( 144 + 256 )
= sqrt(400)
= 20
Thank you,
