There are many ways you can do this. To me, the easiest way is cross multiplying, but since the denominators are the same, there is no need to do that. Also, the fractions are negatives, the one closest to 0 is closer to the surface of the pool
-4/5 = -2/5 in this case -2/5 is closer to the surface of the pool.
Answer: the boy's feet are closer to the surface of the pool
Answer:
probability
Step-by-step explanation:
do some division to calculate the probality of landing on a blue 1/3 and add up the numbers.
Let the weight of triangle be x units. You are given that the weight of square is 1 unit.
1) On the left side of the balanced beam you can see 3 triangles and 5 squares. The weight on left side is 3·x+5·1=3x+5 units.
2) On the right side of the balanced beam you can see 2 triangles and 7 squares. The weight on right side is 2·x+7·1=2x+7 units.
3) If the whole system is balanced, then the weights on left and right sides are equal:
3x+5=2x+7.
Solve this equation:
3x-2x=7-5,
x=2 units.
Answer: option A
The left side was cut out but x will be on top and 5 in the lower square. The last one is the answer.
3/4 x 1 = 3/4 x / = 21/28
?/? = 7/7
