Angela likes to use two walking sticks when she goes hiking but the two walking sticks she has been giving wrestling are differe nt lengths one is 3 4/5 feet long, and the other is 3 1/2 feet long. how much should she cut from the longer sitck so that the two walking sticks will be the same length
1 answer:
Given: long stick: 3 4/5 feet short stick: 3 1/2 feet convert mix fractions into improper fractions: 3 4/5 = (3*5)+4/5 = 19/5 long stick 3 1/2 = (3*2)+1/2 = 7/2 short stick 19/5 - 7/2 ⇒ (19/5 * 2/2) - (7/2 * 5/5) = 38/10 - 35/10 = (38 - 35)/10 = 3/10 3/10 feet should be cut from the longer stick so that the two walking sticks will be the same length. 3 4/5 ft = 45.6 inches long stick 3 1/2 ft = 42 inches short stick 3/10 ft = 3.6 inches to be cut from long stick 45.6 inches - 3.6 inches = 42 inches

3 * 2 = 12
12 - 12 = 0
12 - 0 = 12
10^2 * 12
10 ^ 2 = 144
144 * 12 = 1728
1728 + 15 = 1743
1743 + 6 = 10458
