Mathematics

Vadim26 [7]3 years ago

You can compare fractions by using the benchmark fraction of 1/2. To use this in order to make comparisons, you will need to look carefully at what the numerator and The denominators are in a fraction. If the top number, the numerator is less than half of the denominator, then the fraction would be less then the benchmark 1/2. If the numerator is more than half of the denominator then the fraction would be more than the benchmark 1/2. For example, 3/4 is more than 1/2 because the numerator of three is more than half of the denominator 4.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

3.88 Pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the amount of blue paint that was used. We can do that by multiplying 9.7 by 0.60 since that is 3/5 in decimal form

9.7*0.60=5.82

Now we know how much blue paint was used, now we just need to find how much white paint was used. We can do that by subtracting our amount of blue paint from the total amount of paint used

9.7-5.82=3.88

thus, 3.88 is the amount of white paint used

Basile [38]
Mean=total/the number of values =>total=mean*the number of values
the total of the first set of 8 numbers is : total=8*8=64
the total of the second set of 12 numbers is: 12m
the total of the 20 numbers is: 64+12m
the mean of the 20 number is: (64+12m)/20=5
solve for m: 64+12m=100
12m=36
m=3
