Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached an image on how you can use the diagram they gave you.
If you color in 7/10s and 7/12s you'll notice that 7/10s is greater.
This is because 1/10 of the whole is greater than 1/12 of the whole.
For 1/10, the whole is being divided into 10, so it equals 0.1.
On the other hand, in 1/12, the whole is being divided by 12, so a part equals 0.083
0.1 is greater than 0.083, so 7 of 0.1 is greater than 7 of 0.083
Answer:
Height of fir tree = 9 meters
height of pine tree= 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 21 meters. The height of 4 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 24 meters taller than one pine tree.
Let x be the height of fir tree and y be the height of pine tree
Subtract x from both sides
height of 4 fir trees = pine tree +24
Substitute 21-x or y in the above equation
Add x on both sides
Divide by 5 on both sides
x=9
Now plug in 9 for x and find out y
y=12
Height of fir tree = 9 meters
height of pine tree= 12 meters
