Answer:
Ham costs: $8.249 repeating
Overall cost: 1.26 repeating
Step-by-step explanation:
$4.95 x 5/3= 8.249
2/3 + 3/5= (2 x 5) + (3 x 3)/ 3 x 5=
19/ 15 or 1 4/15
15 divided by 19= 1.26 repeating
The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.
