Why does it take three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of one half

Mathematics

Bogdan [553]3 years ago

It takes three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of 1/2.

Why this is is because a sixth is smaller than a half. There are six sixths in a whole. There are only two halves in a whole.

So when you divide the whole into six parts, you would need half of the parts to have a half. Like down here: <em>(not correct to scale, sorry)</em>

|-------------------|----------------------|

|-----|------|-------|------|-------|-------|

It takes 3 of the sixths to = 1 half.
another way you can check is by simplifying your fractions.
3/6, when you divide by 3 top and bottom, = 1/2
I hope this answers your question somewhat. Please ask if there's anything more

At a hockey game a vender sold a combined total of 105 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 39 more than the number
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

<em>Hot dog sold = 33</em>

<em>Sodas Sold = 72</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

<em>At a hockey game a vender sold a combined total of 105 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 39 more than the number of hot dogs sold</em>

<u><em>To Find:</em></u>

<em>Number of soda/hot dog sold</em>

<u><em>Solve:</em></u>

<em>h + ( 39 + h ) = 105</em>

<em>h + 39 + h = 105</em>

<em>2h + 39  = 105</em>

<em>h + 19.5 = 52.5</em>

<em>h = 52.5 - 19.5 </em>

<em>This as a system does not use any inequality. "39 more than" means, +39.</em>

<em>h = 33    meaning    d= 72</em>

<em />

<em>Add to check Answer:</em>

<em>33 + 72 = 105</em>

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>Hot dog sold = 33</em>

<em>Sodas Sold = 72</em>

Identify the segment bisector of XY.
Ganezh [65]

Given the image attached, the segment bisector that divides XY into two and the length of XY are as follows:

  • Segment bisector of XY = line n
  • Length of XY = 6

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • A line that divides a segment into two equal parts is referred to as segment bisector.

In the diagram attached below, line n divides XY into XM and MY.

Thus, the segment bisector of XY is: line n.

<em><u>Find the value of x:</u></em>

XM = MY (congruent segments)

  • Substitute

5x + 8 = 9x + 12

  • Collect like terms and solve for x

5x + 8 = 9x + 12\\5x - 9x = -8 + 12\\\\-4x = 4\\\\x = -1

XY = XM + MY

XY = 5x + 8 + 9x + 12

  • Plug in the value of x

XY = 5(-1) + 8 + 9(-1) + 12\\\\XY = -5 + 8 -9 + 12\\\\\mathbf{XY = 6}

Therefore, given the image attached, the segment bisector that divides XY into two and the length of XY are as follows:

  • Segment bisector of XY = line n
  • Length of XY = 6

18x = 7.2

Divide each side by 18

18x/18 = 7.2/18

x =.4
