You have to divide to find a common number. 143/13=11
1:11
First you must find a common denominator. In this case 10 will work. You then multiply the top number by whatever you multiplied the bottom number by. This is shown below:
4/5- 3/10 = 8/10- 3/10
You can now solve this to get 5/10. This answer can then be reduced to 1/2.
Mr.willer needs 216 cans because 27 vans times 8 banks equals 216 and 23 times 9 equals 207 so he would need 9 more cans
Answer: Choice B
Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number is more than negative four and five tenths.
======================================================
Explanation:
2.4 = 2 + 0.4
2.4 = 2 and 4/10
2.4 = 2 and 4 tenths
2.4 = two and four tenths
-------------------
Through similar reasoning,
6.2 = six and two tenths
And also,
-4.5 = negative four and five tenths
---------------------
Notice how 6.2 - x translates into "difference of six and two tenths and a number"
We then multiply that by 2.4, aka two and four tenths.
So that's how we get the phrasing "Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number"
All of this is greater than -4.5 aka negative four and five tenths.
This points us to Choice B as the final answer.
