Answer:

\Large \boxed{\mathrm{\frac{6}{8} \ inch}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest insect is 7/8 inch long.

There are 4 insects that are the shortest at 1/8 inch long.

Subtract the length of the shortest insect from the longest insect.

\displaystyle \frac{7}{8} -\frac{1}{8}  \\\\\\  \frac{7-1}{8} \\ \\ \\ \frac{6}{8}

The longest insect is 6/8 inch longer than the shortest insect.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a line plot that shows lengths of insects and the quantity of insects that fits the description.

For instance, there are 4 Xs for 1/8. This means that there are four insects that are 1/8 inches long. Likewise, there is only 1 X for 7/8. This means that are is only one insect that is 7/8 inches long.

To find out how much longer is the longest insect than the shortest insect, we simply need to subtract the shortest into the longest.

The longest insect we have is the lone insect who is 7/8 inches long.

And the shortest insects we have are the four insects who each measure 1/8. However, we only need 1.

So, subtract:

\frac{7}{8} -\frac{1}{8}

Combine fractions with common denominators:

=\frac{7-1}{8}\\

Subtract:

=\frac{6}{8}

The answer is D.

Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Ella grew \frac{1}{12} of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be \frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}.

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by \frac{3}{3} and the second by \frac{4}{4}.

This makes the expression \frac{9}{12}-\frac{8}{12}, which equals \frac{1}{12}.

In the equation z/6 =
Nikitich [7]

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

"Isolate the variable  using inverse operations."

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:

To solve for a variable, we would have to isolate it on one side.

To isolate it, we would use inverse operations on both sides on the equation until the variable is isolated.

There are no like terms in the given equation.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

\boxed{\text{Solving for 'z'...}}\\\\\frac{z}{6} = 36\\-------------\\\rightarrow (\frac{z}{6})6 = (36)6\\\\\rightarrow  \boxed{z = 216}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

What is equal to 6 3/5
sergij07 [2.7K]
What would be equal would be 6.60, because 100/5 is 20. So 3 times 20 is 60. Plus the six so 6+0.6 is 6.60.
