If the denominator of 4/7 is increased by some number x, then we have 4/(7+x)

If the numerator is doubled, then we now have 8/(7+x) because 4*2 = 8

Set that new fraction 8/(7+x) equal to 1 and solve for x

8/(7+x) = 1
8 = (7+x)*1 .... multiply both sides by (7+x)
8 = 7+x
7+x = 8
x+7 = 8
x = 8-7 ... subtract 7 from both sides
x = 1

Answer: 1

(note: 4/7 will turn into 8/8 after adding the number 1 to the denominator and doubling the numerator. The fraction 8/8 reduces to 1)

Tony measures a drum stick and gets a length of 31 centimeters kate converts tony's measurements and gets 3.1 is her answer reas
laila [671]

Answer:

Kate has changed the unit of measurement from centimeters to decimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tony measures a drum stick and the length is measured to be 31 centimeters.

Now, Kate converts Tony's measurements and gets 3.1.

Now, we know that 10 centimeters are equivalent to 1 decimeter.

Hence, 1 centimeter will be equivalent to 0.1 decimeters.

And, 31 centimeters will be equivalent to 31 × 0.1 = 3.1 decimeters.

So, Kate has changed the unit of measurement from centimeters to decimeters. (Answer)
