Answer:
Dezias' pensil is 5.11-1.09=4.02 inches long
Paul's pencil is 4.02+2.05=6.07 inches long
Miguel's pencil is 5.11+1.75=6.86 inches long
Combined are 5.11+4.02+6.07+6.86=22.06
The fraction is 22.06/12=1.8383333...
Use you graphing calculator in the y equals button
Apples : 5 3/4 * 2 1/2 = 23/4 * 5/2 = 115/8 = 14 3/8 lbs
flour : 6 3/4 * 2 1/2 = 27/4 * 5/2 = 135/8 = 16 7/8 cups
margarine : 1/8 * 2 1/2 = 1/8 * 5/2 = 5/16 cups
sugar : 3 5/8 * 2 1/2 = 29/8 * 5/2 = 145/16 = 9 1/16 cups
cinnamon : 2 * 2 1/2 = 2/1 * 5/2 = 10/2 = 5 teaspoons
First of all, you must change 40% into a decimal by multiplying by 100⇒.40
Then you divide 55 by .40
55÷.40=137.5
Therefore, 55 is 40% of 137.5
