Multiplication was invented to reduce the work involved in repeated addition.
... 88 + 88 + 88 + 88 = 4×88 = 352
352 passengers are carried <em>to</em> the island each day.
_____
Some questions must be answered before we can give a definite answer.
1. If the same person rides twice, are they counted twice?
2. Are passengers on the return trips (<em>from</em> the island) counted?
3. If return trip passengers are counted, is the ferry full on those trips?
4. Does every passenger to the island return the same day?
5. Does any passenger go to the island more than once per day?
Answer:
10/1
Step-by-step explanation:
You do
6÷ 3/5
Flip the 3/5 then multiply
6 ° 5/3
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 3
So 2•5
And that's 10
That would be 0.24(0.4). First, estimate the result: 0.24 is about 1/4, and (1/4)(0.4) is about 0.1.
0.24(0.4) = 0.096 (which agrees with the estimated answer, 0.1).
2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if we're estimating ,we're going to round up to 8 since you can multiply that easier. 25 times 8 is 200 so estimation will be around 200
