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.

Answer:

A bird drops a stick to the ground from a height of 80 feet. The equation 0=−16x2+64x+80 gives the number of seconds that have passed when it hits the ground. After about how many seconds did the stick hit the ground?

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^2 + 80   Stick hits the ground when h = 0:

0 = -16t^2 + 80    

16t^2 = 80

t^2 = 80/16 = 5

t = POSITIVE root 5 (due to the real world nature of the problem)

t approximately 2.236 seconds.

========================================

Graph is a downward opening parabola with h-intercept of 80, t-intercept(s) of sqrt(5), - sqrt(5)

Symmetric about h-axis, though I would only graph on the right side of the h-axis since  

that is where t >= 0.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Each shelter would get 121 blankets

And there would be 5 blankets left over

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?

From the above question

7 local shelters = 852 blankets

1 local shelters = x blankets

Cross Multiply.

7x = 852 blankets

x = 852 blankets/7

x = 121 5/7 blankets

Therefore, Each shelter would get 121 blankets

And there would be 5 blankets left over

mixer [17]

Answer:

First on is 0.75

Second is 22/52 (not sure about this one though)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one:

P(aUb) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a^b)

0.6 = 0.4 + 0.5 - p(a^b)

p(a^b) = 0.3

P(a/b)= p(a^b)/p(a)

P(a/b)= 0.3/0.4

P(a/b)= 0.75

For the second one:

Total of the cards are 52

Diamonds are 13 out of that 52

Face cards are 12 out of that 52

Diamond OR face cards means p(aUb)

And that equals p(a)+p(b)-p(a^b)

p(a^b) means the intersection between the two, there are three common cards between diamonds and face cards, so p(a^b)=3

13/52 + 12/52 - 3/52= 22/52
