What is the difference between 126 1/4 an 78 2/3

1 answer:

Vaselesa [24]2 years ago

8 0

1) find the lcd the lcd is 12
2)rewrite the fractions 1/4 and 2/3 using 12 as the denominator (second column) you get 3/12 and 8/12
3) since its confusing to subtract 8/12 from 3/12 you need to borrow one form the 126 doing so is the same as taking 12/12 from 126 this change to 125 and the 12/12 adds to the 3/12 making it 15/12
4) subtract 8/12 form 15/12 to get 7/12
5) subtract 78 form 125 to get 47
6) the answer is 47 7/12

9. The ticket at right has a perimeter of 42 cm.

Liula [17]

Perimeter simply represents the sum of all side lengths of a shape. The length of the missing side of the ticket is 5 cm; the length of gold line on each ticket is 20 cm, and 2 bottles of gold ink are required to draw gold lines on 200 tickets.

I've added the image of the ticket as an attachment.

(a) The missing side length

From the attachment, the 4 unknown side lengths are equal. Represent this side length with L.

So, we have:

$Perimeter =2\times 11 + 4 \times L$

This gives

$2\times11 + 4 \times L = 42$

$22 + 4 \times L = 42$

Collect like terms

$4 \times L = 42-22$

$4 \times L = 20$

Divide both sides by 4

$L =5cm$

(b) The length of the gold lines

There are 4 slant lines and the length of one of the slant lines is 5 cm (as calculated above).

So, the length of the gold line is:

$Gold = 4 \times L$

$Gold = 4 \times 5cm$

$Gold = 20cm$

(c) The number of gold ink bottles.

$n = 200$ --- number of tickets

The length of all gold line in the 200 tickets is:

$Length = 200 \times Gold$

$Length = 200 \times 20cm$

$Length = 4000 cm$

$Length = 4000 \times 0.01m$ ---- convert to meters

$Length = 40m$

Given that:

$Bottle = 20m$ --- 1 bottle for 20 m

The number of bottles (n) is:

$n = \frac{Length}{Bottles}$

$n = \frac{40m}{20m}$

$n = 2$

Hence, 2 bottles of gold ink are enough.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

$\frac{AD}{AB}$ = $\frac{AE}{AC}$ = $\frac{DE}{BC}$

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ADE and triangle ABC are similar

therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal
