Given:

Atul has \dfrac{2}{3} lb of candy.

Jose has \dfrac{3}{5} lb of candy.

Maria has \dfrac{1}{2} lb less than Jose.

To find:

How many more pounds of candy does Atul have than Maria?

Solution:

Since, Maria has \dfrac{1}{2} lb less than Jose, therefore

Maria has = \dfrac{3}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2} lb

Maria has = \dfrac{6-5}{10} lb

Maria has = \dfrac{1}{10} lb

Difference between the candies Atul and Maria have.

Difference = \dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{10} lb

Difference = \dfrac{20-3}{30} lb

Difference = \dfrac{17}{30} lb

Therefore,  Atul have \dfrac{17}{30} lb of candy more than Maria.

Which number is rational?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

We need some numbers to work with to truly answer this. However here's a definition of a rational numbers

A rational number is any number that isn't infinite and non-repeating. So decimals, fractions, repeating numbers/decimals like 1.535353.... (53 is the "pattern") are all rational and fair game. Numbers like pi (π), "imperfect" square roots, etc. that don't repeat and are infinite or NOT RATIONAL.

24 blue beads.

16 white beads.

4 green beads.

Ratio: 24: 16: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you quadruple the amount of beads from the original amount (6 : 4: 1), the total beads for that necklace will be 44.

Step 1: 6 x 4 = 24 (amount of blue beads in necklace).

Step 2: 4 x 4 = 16 (amount of white beads in necklace).

Step 3: 1 x 4 = 4 (amount of green beads in necklace).

Now check to see if the total of all types of beads sum up to 44:

Step 4: 24 + 16 + 4 = 44

______________-

There is your answer:

You need 24 blue beads, 16 white beads, and 4 green beads to have a total sum of 44 beads in that one necklace.
