The answer to 6 2/3 divide by 9 2/3 should equal to 20/29.
Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are exercises to give you practice with
common denominators. For each of these questions, change all
the fractions to common denominators, and the answers jump out at you.
#1). 5/12 = 25/60
2/5 = 24/60
Make um negative, and then you'll have the answer right away.
#2). The one that's negative is obviously the least.
Both positive ones must be bigger than the negative one.
For the positive ones:
2/5 = 6/15
2/3 = 10/15 .
Now it's easy.
#3). This is tough. The least common denominator is 2,520 !
It's probably easier to just do the divisions and get the decimals
for each fraction.
-5/8 = -0.625
-7/9 = -0.777...
-4/5 = -0.8
-3/7 = -0.428...
Now it's easy to line um up.
#4). Sneaky one.
Look closely at each fraction.
B, C, and D are all less than 1, so they're not between 1 and anything more than 1.
8/5 is the only one that's more than 1.
#5). A fraction is just a short way to write a division problem.
When you see a fraction, it means
"the top number divided by the bottom number" .
When you actually do the division, the quotient you get
is the decimal form of the fraction.
To change a decimal into a percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .
The numbers in the boxes at the bottom of #5 are the correct numbers,
but they both should be negative. (because the -3/8 is negative)
Answer: 11 hours and 25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she left at 7:10 am you can add 50 minutes and you will get 8, then all the way to 6 pm is 10 hours. Now you just have 50 and 35 minutes that you havent added to the total yet so when you add those two together you get 85. But there isnt 85 minutes in a hour so you would have yo break it down and you would get 1 hour and 25 minutes. Add 1 hour and 25 minutes to 10 hours and you get 11 hours and 25 minute. I hope that helps!
Sorry if you didnt under stand my explanation.
