Answer:
5375 should be it
Step-by-step explanation:
Jamal and Steve finished the same amount of homework because 5/6 is the same as 10/12
First put in ascending order.
0, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7
The median is the middle number: 4
The mode is the number that repeats the most often: 2
The mean is the average. Add the numbers and divide by 7.
26/7 = 3.71
He used 11/12 of sugar.
(1) I multiplied the factors and denominators by eachothers denominators
(2) I ended up with the two converted fractions: 8/12 and 3/12. The reason for this step is because if the two fractions have the smae denominator, it helps make it easier to add the fraction.
(3) I added the fractions, getting the sum of 11/12
Good question!
Because it makes quantities with a lot of digits small enough that you can do math with them.
example:
say you measure a wavelength in nanometers which is common for wavelengths but then have to use this quantity in an equation with the speed of light; 300,000,000 m/s ..
You then must convert one of these quantities to get both in the same units of measure. Usually you would write 600 nm as 6x10^11 m instead of a 12 digit decimal and speed of light as 3x10^8 m/s
