To answer this item, we let x be the first positive integer. Then, the second would be x+1. Their reciprocals would be 1/x and 1/(x+1). Then, the equation that would best represent the scenario above is,
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/72
Solving the equation above,
((x+1) + x) / (x)(x+1) = 17/72
If we take the numerators of both sides of the equation,
(x+1) + x = 17
The value of x from the equation is 8 and x+1 would be 9. Thus, the answer would be 8 and 9.
Each division set gives the outcome of the operation 1.45 ÷ 5 which is 0.29.
- The number of hundredths in each division set is <u>D. 9</u>
Reasons:
The given Hunter's model consists of the following
One 10 × 10 number block
Four sets of a column of 10 cubes
Five individual cube pieces
Therefore;
In 1.45, we have;
1 unit
4 tenths
5 hundredths
Which gives;
Each single cube can be used to represent a hundredth in 0.05
One cube = 0.01
Each set of 10 cubes represents a tenth in 0.4
Each block of 10 by 10 can be used to represent the unit; 1
Dividing each of the 10 × 10 can be divided to sets of 20 blocks with a value of 0.2 each
The 4 sets of 10s can be divided by 5 to give sets of 8 with a value of 0.08
The 5 cubes divided 5 gives five cubes with each cube having a value of 0.01.
Therefore;
The value of each division set is 0.2 + 0.08 + 0.01 = 0.29
The number of hundredths in 0.29 = 9
The number of hundredths in each division set is therefore; <u>D. 9</u>

This is pretty simple. All you have to do is make the first and second fraction share a denominator by multiplying them by each other.
6 <span>• 9 = 54
Then multiply each numerator by the opposing denominator.
1 </span><span>• 9 = 9
2 </span><span>• 6 = 12
Here are the new fractions:
9/54
12/54
Now add the 9 and 12 together.
9 + 12 = 21
The complete fraction:
21/54
Subtract 21 from 54 so you can get the remainder of the sweater.
54 - 21 = 33
This is the remainder fraction:
33/54
Can you simplify this? Yes, of course! They can both be divided by 3!
11/18
That is the remainder of the sweater. But you still have to divide it in half! After all, Linda only knitted half of the remaining sweater. Dividing it in half can be done just by multiplying the denominator by 2.
11/36
That should be your answer! Apologies if I got something wrong.</span>
