How can I get 20/24 with this numbers 3/6 ,1/4 ,1/3

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   3/6 + 0*(1/4) + 1/3   = 20/24


Discussion:

My first thought was to convert all the number to use a denominator of 24:

3/6 = 12/24    (*)

1/4  = 6/24

1/3 =  8/24      (**)


Note that the sum of (*) and (**) gives 20/24:

3/6 + 1/3 = 12/24 + 8/24  = 20/24.

which is what we want. So what do we do about the 1/4 term?  Hmmm... Let's multiply it by zero! Your teacher may not like this  but the problem statement doesn't exclude it. Consider this:

3/6 + 0*(1/4) + 1/3   = 20/24



Thank you,

MrB

wrangler has 300 dollars to spend on school supplies. He spent 1/10 on notebooks. How much does he have left?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method 1:</u>

$300 on school supplies

1/10 on notebooks

As you're finding how much is left:

10/10-1/10=9/10

Convert 9/10 into a decimal

9/10=0.9

300*0.9=$270

OR

<u>Method 2: </u>

1/10=0.1

300*0.1=$30

Take away 30 from $300

$300-30=$270

By using either method, You would still have $270 left.

How this helps!!!

Have a nice day :)
