15/3=5
5 would be the answer since 15 can be evenly divided by 3
Answer:
you pay 240 dollars a year
Step-by-step explanation:
y=20x
x is 12
20*12=
240
Rainfall in October in Forks, Washington = 8 3/8 inches
= 67/8 inches
Percentage of rainfall that has fallen less in September in Forks, Washington = 60%
Let us assume the amount of rainfall in September in Forks, Washington = x
Then
100x/60 = 67/8
10x/6 = 67/8
5x/3 = 67/8
5x * 8 = 67 * 3
40x = 201
x = 201/40
= 5 1/40 inches
So the amount of rainfall in September in Washinton is 5 1/40 inches.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem set up is: 5x-6=14
5x=20
x=4
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.
![1\frac{1}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%201%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20)
m =
![\frac{5}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B4%7D%20)
m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.
![1\frac{1}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%201%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20)
=
![\frac{5}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B4%7D%20)
(Luke)
1.4 =
![\frac{7}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B5%7D%20)
(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare
![\frac{5*5}{4*5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B5%2A5%7D%7B4%2A5%7D%20)
(Luke)
![\frac{7*4}{5*4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B7%2A4%7D%7B5%2A4%7D%20)
(Darren)
![\frac{25}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B25%7D%7B20%7D%20)
(Luke)
![\frac{28}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B28%7D%7B20%7D%20)
(Darren)
![\frac{28}{20} > \frac{25}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B28%7D%7B20%7D%20%20%3E%20%20%20%5Cfrac%7B25%7D%7B20%7D%20)
Darren > Luke
By:
![\frac{28}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B28%7D%7B20%7D%20)
-
![\frac{25}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B25%7D%7B20%7D%20)
=
![\frac{3}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B20%7D%20)
Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
