Think of it by hundreds 1/4 is 25 and 4/10 is like 40. you have to find how many times can the denominator go into 100 then if its 10 multiply your numerator by 10

You can determine this by getting a common denominator between the two fractions. the closest common denominator in this case is 40 because 4 and 10 share the same multiple at 40. to get 40 on both denominators multiply by 10 for 1/4 and multiply by 4 for 4/10. then you will see that you have 10/40 and 16/40. disregard the 5 infront of the fraction and then look at the fraction alone to determine which one is less. in this case, since 10/40 is less than 16/40, 5 1/4 is less than 5 4/10.

GEOMETRY Kymani has two equal-sized large pitchers and two equal-sized small pitchers. All of the pitchers together hold 40 cups

melamori03 [73]

Each of the small pitcher will contain 4 cups of water while each of the large pitcher will contain 16 cups of water.

Therefore, two equal-sized large pitchers will hold 32 cups of water while the two equal-sized small pitchers will hold 8 cups of water

<h3>Larger Pitchers</h3>

The 2 larger pitchers are equal in size.

Let

each size of the large pitcher = x

Two large size pitcher = 2x

<h3>Smaller Pitchers</h3>

The 2 smaller pitchers are equal in size

let

each size of the pitcher = y

Two small sized pitchers = 2y

<h3>Pitchers Capacities</h3>

The whole pitchers holds 40 cups of water. Therefore,

2x + 2y = 40

The capacity of one large pitcher minus the capacity of one small pitcher is 12 cups. Therefore,

x - y = 12

Combine the equations.

2x + 2y = 40

x - y = 12

x + y = 20

2y = 8

y = 8 / 2

y = 4

x - 4 = 12

x = 12 + 4

x = 16

A gardener already has four and one over 2 ft of fencing in his garage. He wants to fence in a square garden for his flowers. Th

NikAS [45]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$6\frac{1}{2}$ <u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.

<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>

Amount of fence that the gardener already has: $4\frac{1}{2}$ ft.

Length of one side: $2\frac{3}{4}$ ft.

If one side measures $2\frac{3}{4}$ ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

$4*(2\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\4*(2+\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\(4*2)+(4*\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\8+(\frac{12}{4} )=\\ \\8+3=\\ \\11$

The gardener already has $4\frac{1}{2}$ , which equals $4 + \frac{1}{2}$ . Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:
