Answer:
1/2 * 4/3 = 4/6 and simpliest form 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use our largest amount (quarter) to see how many can fit evenly into 1.74.
- 1.74/0.25 = 6.96
- The most quarters that can fit into $1.74 is 6.
---Multiply $0.25 by 6 = $1.50
---Subtract $1.50 from $1.74 = $0.24
---We need to use the rest of the coins to fill up $0.24.
Now let's use our second largest amount (dime) to see how many can fit evenly into 0.24.
- 0.24/0.10 = 2.4
- The most dimes that can fit into $0.24 is 2.
---Multiply $0.10 by 2 = $0.20
---Subtract $0.20 from $0.24 = $0.04
No nickels can fit into $0.04, because they are worth $0.05.
We can use our least amount (pennies) to fill in the $0.04 remaining.
Your answer is 6 quarters, 2 dimes, and 4 pennies.
Pythagorean theorm is( hypotenuse)^2=(base)^2+(perpendicular)^2
(18)^2-(9)^2=x^2
x=15.58
The best thing to do for this question is to find a common denominator, and the best way to do this is to list all of the multiples and find the smallest common one.
8- 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
20- 20, 40, 60
In this, 40 is the lowest, so you have to multiply 5/8 by 5 at the top and bottom, and this gives you 25/40. You have to multiply the second fraction by 2, and this becomes 22/40.
Therefore, the larger fraction is 5/8.
The alternative method is to turn them into decimals and compare them this way. 5/8= 0.625 & 11/20= 0.55
Hope this helps
