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.

30% are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans....thats 85%.
This means 15% are from other countries

3 not from other countries...
0.85 * 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.6

For each rectangle below, write a linear equation that represents the area y of the rectangle. Solve this system of two linear e
Hatshy [7]

(5,24)

  • The two areas are the same.

  • To find the area, we multiply the side lengths. Y=area

Rectangle 1: side lengths 4 and (x+1)

y=4(x+1)= 4x+4

Rectangle 2: side lengths 3 and (2x-2)

y=3(2x-2)= 6x-6

  • Since the two areas are same, we can conclude that

4x+4=6x-6

  • Now, simplify.

-2x=-10, x=5

  • Since x is 5, we can plug it into the equations to find y.

Option 1 with rectangle 1: y=4(5)+4, y=24

Option 2 with rectangle 2: y=6(5)-5, y=24

I graphed the linear equation on desmos.
