Fraction is a part of a whole, for example 1/2. Equivalent fractions are fractions that look different but show the same amount. Improper fractions have numerators that are higher than the denominator, while mixed fractions contain whole numbers and fractions.

In order to compare fractions, you need to change them so they have the same denominator. Fractions can be converted into decimals. You need to be able to work out a fraction of a given quantity.

How do we find 3/5 of 20?

Method 1 is to find 1/5 of 20, then multiply by 3.

1/5 of 20 is 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

We need 3/5 of 20, so we multiply 4 by 3.

3/5 of 20 = 4 × 3 = 12.

you can put this in your calculator:

3/5<span> × 20 = </span>3/5<span> × </span>20/1<span> = </span>60/5<span> = 12</span>

The Country Buffet restaurant has tables that seat 6 people and booths that can seat 4 people. The restaurant has 38 seating uni

Alina [70]

Answer:

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of tables with t and the number of booths with b.

We need to find the values of t and b.

(6 people/table)(t) + (4 people/booth)b = 188 (units are "people")

t + b = 38 (units are "seating units")

Solving the second equation for t, we get 38 - b = t.

Substitute 38 - b for t in the first equation:

(6 people/table)(38 - b) + (4 people/booth)b = 188

Then solve for b: 6(38) - 6b + 4b = 188, or:

228 - 2b = 188, or 2b = 228 - 188, or 2b = 40. Thus, b = 20 (booths)

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables.

Write the polynomial in standard form. identify the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial. then classify the polynomi

mezya [45]

You'll need to post the polynomial itself. The degree will be the highest exponent, the leading coefficient will be the number in front of the variable of the term with the highest exponent, then count the number of terms separated by + and - signs.
