Let

A-----> \frac{7}{8}

B-----> \frac{11}{10}

C-----> 1

we know that

Point A-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 10

\frac{7*10}{8*10} =\frac{70}{80}

Point B-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 8

\frac{11*8}{10*8} =\frac{88}{80}

Point C-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 80

\frac{1*80}{1*80} =\frac{80}{80}

Find the distance Point A to Point C

\frac{80}{80} -\frac{70}{80} =\frac{10}{80}

Find the distance Point B to Point C

\frac{88}{80} -\frac{80}{80} =\frac{8}{80}

therefore

\frac{8}{80} < \frac{10}{80}

Point B is closer to Point C

\frac{11}{10} is closer to 1

the answer is

\frac{11}{10} is closer to 1

You can also figure it out by knowing that 7/8 is 1/8 away from 1 and 11/10 is 1/10 away from 1. since 1/10 is smaller than 1/8, you know that 11/10 is closer to 1 than 7/8.

What is 1+4=5 2+5=12 3+6=21 what does 8 plus 11 equal
Paladinen [302]
This is a classic math problem, and it is not solved in a normal way.

<span>1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
8+11=?

There is a pattern that can be spotted. 2+5 does not equal twelve, however 2*(2+5) does equal 12. Below is how to solve the rest of the equations:

</span>1+4=5 -> 1*(4+1)=5
2+5=12 -> 2*(5+1)=12
3+6=21 -> <span>3*(6+1)=21 </span>
8+11=? -> <span>8*(11+1)=96 
</span>
This is one way to answer the problem, HOWEVER there is another way to answer the problem that gives the SAME answer, but many people mistakenly believes it gives a different answer. If anyone tries to post the other way of doing this problem, but tells you the answer is 40, please comment on this post or message me and let me know. I will explain why the answer is actually 96 either way.

The length of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than it's width. The area of the rectangle is 260 square inches. What is the length
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The width cannot be negative, so w = 9, l = 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

w = the width

l = w +7

A = l · w

A= w ( w + 7 )

144 = w2 + 7w

0 = w2 + 7w - 144

0 = ( w - 9 )( w + 16 )

The width cannot be negative, so w = 9, l = 16.
