I think personally it is way easier for me to do it that way. Let's say we have 6.687-4.798, then think how long it takes to solve this problem versus just solving 6.700-4.800. Does that make sense?

Estimation is a important skill to know when adding and subtracting decimals because if you estimate you have an idea on what your answer should be close to.

For example 4.68-2.38 could be 5-2 which is 3. 4.68-2.38 equals 2.3. 2.3 is close to 3.

1. Using the diagram below, answer the following question. Arthur is at the coordinate A(20,35), Cameron is at the coordinate C(
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

(42.5, 37.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Arthur = A(20, 35)

Cameron = C(65, 40)

Jamie = J(45, 20)

Required:

Coordinate of the midpoint of the distance between A and C.

SOLUTION:

Midpoint (M) of AC, is given as:

M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})

Let A(20, 35) = (x_1, y_1)

C(65, 40) = (x_2, y_2)

Plug the values into the given formula:

M(\frac{20 + 65}{2}, \frac{35 + 40}{2})

M(\frac{85}{2}, \frac{75}{2})

M(42.5, 37.5)

Coordinate Jamie should run towards is (42.5, 37.5)

Carlos cut StartFraction 5 Over 12 EndFraction of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length. What was the length of each pie
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlus cut 5/12 of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length.

To find the length of each piece of cloth, we need to find the quotient between the length of the piece of cloth, and the number of pieces in which we divide it.

This is:

length = \frac{(5/12)yd}{5} = \frac{5yd}{12*5} = \frac{1yd}{12} \frac{5}{5}  = \frac{1 }{12} yd

This means that the length of each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.

If a person flips a coin and then rolls a six dash sided die​, describe the sample space of possible outcomes using Upper H comm
xenn [34]

Answer:

Sample Space (S) = { (1,H), (1,T), (2,H), (2,T), (3,H), (3,T), (4,H), (4,T), (5,H), (5,T), (6,H), (6,T) }  

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person flips a coin; the possible outcomes of flipping a coin are { Head (H), Tail (T) }

If a person rolls a six dash side die, the possible outcomes of rolling a dice are { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

Now, If a person flips a coin and then rolls a six dash side die;

The Sample Space (S) which is the set of all the possible outcomes of the activities carried out can be described as follows:

DIE                               COIN  →

↓                                      

                                        H                               T          

1                                      (1,H)                             (1,T)

2                                    (2,H)                             (2,T)

3                                    (3,H)                             (3,T)

4                                    (4,H)                             (4,T)

5                                    (5,H)                             (5,T)

6                                    (6,H)                             (6,T)

Sample Space (S) = { (1,H), (1,T), (2,H), (2,T), (3,H), (3,T), (4,H), (4,T), (5,H), (5,T), (6,H), (6,T) }
