Use compatible numbers to find two estimates for 42 divided by 396

1 answer:

7 0

42 ÷ 396
You could use 40 ÷ 400, which would give you 0.1 as an estimate.
You could also use 42 ÷ 420, which would also give you 0.1 as an estimate.

By the way, by a pair of "compatible numbers", it means when you can easily work out the sum by calculating the first digits multiplied or divided together, then add the zeros.

For example, with 40 ÷ 400, we know that
40 ÷ 40 is 1, so we just put the other 0 infront of the decimal point to make it 0.1.

If it was multiplying (2 x 600), you could work out 2 x 6 (12), then add the 0's to get 1,200

What is -5/6 + -5/6? (its ment to be a fraction)

maks197457 [2]

The answer is: " -5/3 " ; or, write as: " -1 ⅔ " .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________

(-5/6) + (-5/6) = (-5/6) − (5/6) ;

------> {since: "adding a negative" is the same a "subtracting a positive"} ;

------> (-5/6) − (5/6) = (-5 − 5) / 6 ;

= -10/6 = (-10/2) / (6/2) ;
_____________________________________________________
= " -5/3 " ; or, write as: " -1 ⅔ " .

Write each decimal as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form. 1 3/8

Mnenie [13.5K]

3/2

Step One: 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:

To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use addition and multiplication. For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1). 8x1= 8
NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).
After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12
Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8
We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8.
4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2
Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.
