Answer:
3/4 of a foot will cost $2.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by rule of three, due to proportions.
One foot of lace costs 3 dollars. How much is 3/4 of a foot going to cost?
1 foot - 3 dollars
3/4 foot - x dollars
So
3/4 of a foot will cost $2.25.
The frist line may be one with the numbers 0, 1 and 2 and 10 divisions (marks at equal distance) between each integer. Each division will be equal to 0.1 units and then you can mark the second division from the zero point to the right as the 0.20 mark.
The other line must have the same integers, 0 , 1 and 2 placed in identical form as the first line. Then
- draw an inclined straight line since the point zero,
- mark 5 points in the inclined lined equally spaced over the line.
- draw a sttraight line from the 5th point to the point with the mar 1 over the base number line.
- draw a parallel line to the previous one passing trhough the second point of the inclined line and mark the point where this parallel touchs the base number line. This point shall be at the same distance from zero than the 0.2 mark was in the first number line, meaning that 0.2 and 1/5 are equivalent.
So, to solve the questions on your paper, you need to first have all of the bottom numbers on the fractions similar numbers. So if you have the numbers 1/4 and 4/8, you need to get them to both be the same number. Therefore, 1/4 should become 2/8, because you doubled the bottom number (you also then need to do the same to the top number). You don't need to change 4/8, because it's bottom number is already 8. Then, you can take 4/8 and 1/8 and add them. To add them, you just add the top numbers. The top numbers make 5, so then you add the denominator, and make the number 5/8. Since you can't simplify 5/8, just keep it. But if it was 4/8, you could simplify it to 1/2. You can do all of this same to all of the numbers on your paper. :D If you are subtracting, subtract only the top numbers, but if you need to multiply or divide, multiply/divide both numerator AND denominator. :D I hope I helped! If I didn't, please tell me, or just delete my answer. :D
