Noa was walking in the forest and measured the circumference of two trees that he found. The first tree measured 37 5/8 inches a

round, and the second tree measured 45 1/3 inches around. Noa wanted to find the difference of the circumferences of the two trees. He recorded his steps in the table.
Step 1: 45 1/3- 37 5/8
Step 2: 45 8/24 - 37 15/24
Step 3: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24
Step 4: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24= 8 17/24

In which step did Noa first make an error?

Answer:

Step 4: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24= 8 17/24

<u>Here we can finally find out the mistake done by Noa. The result is 7 17/24 and not 8 17/24.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review carefully all the steps taken by Noa to calculate the difference of the circumferences of the two trees.

Circumference Tree 1 = 37 5/8 inches around

Circumference Tree 2 =  45 1/3 inches around

Step 1: 45 1/3- 37 5/8

The measures are correct, no issues copying them.

Step 2: 45 8/24 - 37 15/24

Noa looked for common denominators

1/3 * 8/8 = 8 /24 is correct; 5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24 is also correct.

Step 3: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24

Noa looked for making the fraction part higher on the left side:

45 8/24 = 44 32/24 is correct because 24/24 = 1

Step 4: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24= 8 17/24

<u>Here we can finally find out the mistake done by Noa. The result is 7 17/24 and not 8 17/24.</u>

elena55 [62]

Answer:

11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator. Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1. The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore the answer is 11/24

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

160:340

Step-by-step explanation:

The hours between 2:00pm and 4:00pm is 2 hours. If originally 350 freshman and 200 sophomores are at the carnival, and 20 freshman leave every hour, we can determine how many freshman left in 2 hours:

=20\cdot{2}=40

and if 35 sophomores arrive every half our, we know that for every two hours there is 4 half hours, therefore:

=35\cdot{4}=140

The amount of freshman at 4:00pm:

200-40=160

and the amount of sophomores:

200+140=340

the ratio is 160:340
