Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Ella grew $\frac{1}{12}$ of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{2}{3}$ .

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by $\frac{3}{3}$ and the second by $\frac{4}{4}$ .

This makes the expression $\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{8}{12}$ , which equals $\frac{1}{12}$ .

Answer:

Part A

to the 10th power will be positive and to the 11th power is negative. When the exponent is even it will be positive. When it is odd it will be negative

Part B

The one with the negative enclosed will be positive. The second one, the exponent is only effecting the number and not the sign. The outcome will always be negative.
