When do you need to use two number lines to compare two fractions?

3 0

<span>You need two number lines to compare two fractions when their denominators are different. The procedure is that you draw to segment lines of the same length but divede each line according to its denominator and then compare the place of the points that mark the fraction numbers, the line that content the marke further away from the start end will be indicate the greater fraction. For example, the fractions 3/4 and 7/10. One line will be divided inot 4 equidistant segments, and the other with 10 equidistant segments. The fraction 3/4 will be represented with 3 marks on the first line, and the fraction 7/10 will be represented with 7 marks on the second line. Now you can compare the size of the two segments marked adn decide which fraction is greater. </span>

Step-by-step explanation:

ah, here you go.

come on, now. you know this now ...

again, mutually exclusive attributes in the table (no overlap here) allow us to add the numbers for a total :

4+2+12+10 = 28 students in total.

how many of those 28 fulfill our desired criteria (has a brother) ?

well, it is the sum of the column "has a brother", as it does not matter, if there is also a sister or not.

so, it is 4 + 12 = 16

therefore, the probability to pick a student randomly, who has a brother is

16/28 = 4/7 = 0.571428571...

Steven has a bag of 20 pieces of candy. Four are bubble gum, 4 are chocolates, 4 are fruit chews, and the rest are peppermints.

There are 20 pieces in the bag all together. Four are chocolate.
The probability of picking a chocolate with his eyes closed is 4/20.

In simplest form, that's 1/5 or 20% .

The image of the point (-6, -2) under a translation is (-4,2). Find the coordinates of the image of the point (-3, 4) under the

QveST [7]

ANSWER

(-1, 8)

EXPLANATION

First we have to find the rule for this translation.

The image of the x-coordinate of the given point is 2 untis more than the point, so the rule for the horizontal translation is to add 2.

The image of the y-coordinate of the given point is 4 units more than the point, so the rule for the vertical translation is to add 4:
