Answer:

The precipitation for both March and April was 8 7/8 inches below average

Step-by step explanation;

For the month of march, precipitation was 6 1/2 inches less than average

For the month of April, precipitation was 2 3/8 inches left.

Now we want to calculate how many inches less than average was precipitation in both wants

What we simply do here is to add the inches with which they were both left than average in both months

That would be;

6 1/2 + 2 3/8

= 13/2 + 19/8 = (52 + 19)/8 = 71/8 = 8 7/8 inches

What is least to greatest 2/8 2/1 3/4 5/6 7/6​
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

2/8, 3/4, 5/6, 7/6, 2/1

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the fractions into ascending order (least to greatest):

     1.  Determine the LCM (Least common multiple) of the denominators.

     2. Then, using the LCM, multiply such number to the denominators                       such that the product is equivalent to the LCM of the denominators.

  • Note: The number we multiply to the denominator must also be multiplied to the numerator.

     3. Finally, create the set, in ascending order.

<h3>Determine the LCM of the denominators:</h3>

Given fraction set;

\dfrac{2}{8} ;  \ \dfrac{2}{1}; \ \dfrac{3}{4}; \ \dfrac{5}{6};\ \dfrac{7}{6}

Therefore, the denominators of the fraction set are;

   \implies \text{Denominators: 8, 1, 4, 6, 6}

Determining the LCM using Division method;

   \ \ \underline{................}\\2\underline{| 8, 1, 4, 6, 6}\\ 2\underline{|4, 1, 2, 3, 3} \\ 2\underline{|2,1,1,3,3} \\3 \underline{|1, 1,1,1,1}

LCM of denominators: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24

<h3>Multiplying the denominators:</h3>

LCM of denominators: 24

<u>Multiply such number such that the denominators are equivalent to 24.</u>

   \implies \dfrac{2}{8} ;  \ \dfrac{2}{1}; \ \dfrac{3}{4}; \ \dfrac{5}{6};\ \dfrac{7}{6}

   \implies \dfrac{2 \times 3}{8 \times 3} ; \ \dfrac{2 \times 24}{1 \times 24}  ; \ \dfrac{3 \times 6}{4 \times 6}  ; \ \dfrac{5 \times 4}{6 \times 4}  ; \ \dfrac{7 \times 4}{6 \times 4}

   \implies \dfrac{6}{24}  ; \ \dfrac{48}{24}  ; \ \dfrac{18}{24} ; \ \dfrac{20}{24}; \ \dfrac{28}{24}

<h3>Creating the set, in ascending order;</h3>

<u>Simply compare the fractions and put them in "smallest to biggest" order.</u>

   \implies \dfrac{6}{24}  ; \ \dfrac{48}{24}  ; \ \dfrac{18}{24} ; \ \dfrac{20}{24}; \ \dfrac{28}{24}

   \implies \dfrac{6}{24} < \dfrac{18}{24} < \dfrac{20}{24} < \dfrac{28}{24} < \dfrac{48}{24}

   \implies \dfrac{6}{24}  \ \ \huge{\text{(}\dfrac{2}{8} } \text{)}; \ \dfrac{18}{24} \ \huge{\text{(}\dfrac{3}{4}\huge{\text{)} ; \ \dfrac{20}{24} \ \huge{\text{(}\dfrac{5}{6} \huge{\text{)} ; \ \dfrac{28}{24} \ \huge{\text{(} \dfrac{7}{6} \huge{\text{)}; \ \dfrac{48}{24} \ \huge{\text{(} \dfrac{2}{1} \huge{\text{)}

Therefore, the set, in ascending order, is 2/8, 3/4, 5/6, 7/6, 2/1

Roger has 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter. A recipe for a loaf of bread requires 3/4 cups of butter. How many loaves of bread can he
Sergio [31]

Answer:

3 loaves of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

We must divide 2\frac12 by \frac34 and take an integer part of this dividing.

2\frac12:\frac34=\frac52:\frac34=\frac52\cdot\frac43=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}3=3\frac13

The integer part of a mixed fraction 3\frac13 is 3, and this is the answer.
