20 because you can get 20 parts from cuting each 10 inch parts in half and so 10 times 2 is 20

There is 5/6 of an apple pie left from dinner. Tomorrow, Victor plans to eat 1/6 of the pie that was left. How much of the whole

Lady_Fox [76]

5/6 = 83%
1/6= 16%

83% of the apple pie was left from dinner.
Victor is gonna eat 16% of the pie tomorrow
You have to subtract 16% from 83%
In other words 5/6-1/6

The denominators are same so you don't have to do anything to them
5/6 - 1/6

5-1=4

4/6 of the pie would be left
In simplest form it would be

4/6 <span> ÷2</span>
=2/3

2/3 is in simplest form

Jonah runs 3/5 miles on Sunday and 7/10 miles on Monday.He uses the model to find that he ran a total of 1 mile. What mistake do

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: He did not convert the fractions into the like fraction to add.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The distance Jonah runs on Sunday= $\frac{3}{5}$ miles

The distance Jonah runs on Monday= $\frac{7}{10}$ miles

The total distance he ran = $\frac{3}{5}+\frac{7}{10}\ miles$

Since both the fractions are not like , thus multiply 2 to the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction [to add fractions first convert them into like fractions], we get

The total distance he ran = $\frac{3\times2}{5\times2}+\frac{7}{10}\ miles$
