You can tell that the equal share is more than 1 whole when the numerator is greater than the denominator.How? As we all know that in order to convert a fraction to a decimal number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator.Now, if the numerator is less than the denominator, expect that the digit is now less than 1 whole. But if the numerator is greater than the denominator, for sure, it is more than 1 whole for example.=> 5/4 , where 5 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator<span>=> 1 and 1/4 or 1.25</span>

HELP!! PLEASE A carpenter is framing a window with wood trim where the length of the window is 9 and 1/3 feet. If the width of t

ohaa [14]

We need the perimeter of the window for framing

The window is in the shape of a rectangle with the height of $9 \frac{1}{3}$ feet and width of $6 \frac{3}{4}$ . The diagram of the shape is shown below

The perimeter of a shape is obtained by adding up the length of all the sides that form the shape.

The perimeter of the window is $9 \frac{1}{3}+9 \frac{1}{3}+6 \frac{3}{4}+6 \frac{3}{4}$ = $18 \frac{2}{3}+12 \frac{6}{4}$

We have two whole numbers 18 and 12 and two fractions $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{6}{4}$

Adding the two fractions that have different denominator
$\frac{2}{3}+ \frac{6}{4} = \frac{8}{12}+ \frac{18}{12}= \frac{26}{12}$ , which is an improper fraction which we can change into a mixed number $2 \frac{1}{6}$

So the perimeter of the window is
$18+12+2 \frac{1}{6} =32 \frac{1}{6}$

and the length of wood needed for the frame is $32 \frac{1}{6}$ feet

What 3 consecutive even numbers added together equal 42? Us e the equation n+ (n+2) + (n+4) = 42 to help you solve

Daniel [21]

12,14,16

You reduce similar terms ("n" and numbers) then you just simplify the equation and kind of guess the even numbers that equal 42 based on your answer (12)
