The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.

It takes 113 pounds of seed to completely plant a 12 -acre field. how many acres can be planted per pound of seed?
svp [43]
The answer is <span>0.10619469026. 

It takes about 9lbs of seed to plant 1-acre, so to find the answer divide 12/113 and you get how many acres 1lb of seed could cover.

Hope this helps :-)

What is the slope of this line?
shutvik [7]
I think it’s -1 because with rise/run it goes down 2 and over 2 but the line is going down, so it’s negative.

Does a regular pentagon tessellate and why​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

No, a regular pentagon does not tessellate.

In a tessellation, all the angles at a point have to add to 360 degrees, as this means there is no overlap, nor are there gaps. To find the interior angle sum of a pentagon, we use the following formula:

(n-2)*180 (where n is the number of sides)

We plug in the number of sides (5) and get:

Angle sum = (5–2)*180

Angle sum = 3*180

Angle sum = 540

Regular pentagons have equal sides and equal angles, so to find the size of the interior angle of a pentagon, we divide the angle sum by 5 and get 108 degrees for every angle.

As I said before, the angles at a point need to add up to 360, so we need to know if 108 divides evenly into 360. If it does, the shape tessellates, and, if it doesn’t, the shape does not.

360/108 = 3.33333…

This means that a regular pentagon does not tessellate.

Hope this helps!
