Answer:

Nico

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to convert both to the same units! Think about the units: we have millimeters and centimeters. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter, so

55 mm = 5.5 cm

We just had to move the decimal point!

Now compare the two measurements in cm. 5.5 and 5.7: which is greater? Look at the tenths place: 5<7, so 5.7 is greater and Nico’s thumb is longer!

Eva and emily can clean the entire house in 4 hours. Eva can do it by herself in 6 hours. How long would it take emily to do it
aksik [14]
Let x = the number of hours Eva needs to complete the job
and y = the number of hours Emily needs to complete the job

x = 6
1/x + 1/y = 1/4
(The amount of work Eva does in 1 hr + the amount of work Emily does in 1 hr should equal 1/4 of the total work)
1/6 + 1/y = 1/4
1/y = 1/12
y = 12 hours
Emily would take 12 hours to do it by herself.
