Answer:
3 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the area of the deck
A = 9 1/9 * 3
Changing to an improper fraction
9 1/9 = (9*9+1)/9 = 82/9
A = 82/9 *3 = 82/3
Changing back to a mixed number
82/3 = 27 1/3
Each can covers 10 m^2
We will need 3 cans
So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)
By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, all number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers.
So naturally, lets divide 120 by an easy prime number.
We know that 120 is even, so lets try 2
120/2 = 60
lets keep dividing it by two until it becomes odd or prime
60/2 = 30
30/2 = 15
now lets see, what are some factors of 15?
Well the obvious ones are 3 and 5, both of which are prime. So now we can just count up how many times we divided it by 2
120/2 = 60
60/2 = 30
30/2 = 15
and 15 is just 3 x 5, so:
<span>
120=(<span>23</span>)×(3)×(5)</span>
or
<span><span>
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5</span></span>
If she picks 2/4 in half an hour she must pick 1.5 in an hour (2/4 x 2) so times that by 2 then its 3
