Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Answer:
( 1/3, 5 2/3) Or (0.33, 5.66)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you graph the 2 equations and see where they intersect, they will land on the answer.
Answer:
p(2/5)=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 2/5 for x
p(2/5)=5(2/5)-6
Combine like terms
p(2/5)=2-6
p(2/5)=-4
21/0.3= 70
there were 70 raisins in the box

Answer:</h3>
1 27/28 ≈ 1.964 gallons/hour
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
You want gallons in the numerator of your unit rate, but that unit is in the denominator of the mileage rate. So, the computation must involve division by 28 mpg. Hours is already in the denominator of 55 mph, so the computation will involve multiplication by that rate.
... (55 mi/h)/(28 mi/gal) = (55 mi/h)·(1 gal/(28 mi)) = 55/28 gal/h
... = 1 27/28 gal/h
