1. So first of all we have to divide the 3 fractions into decimals to get a decimal to compare. So 5/6 is the same as 5 divided by 6 which is .83 bar and so on...

5/6= .83 bar
1/4= .25
2/3= .66 bar

So 5/6 and 2/3 are closer to one.




2. The two shortest pieces are 2/3 and 1/4 so you se 1/4 + 2/3. Let’s get a common denominator for these fractions. The common denominator is 12. So multiply 1/4 • 3 to get 3/12 and multiply 2/3 by • 4 to get 8/12. Add them together and you get 11/12. So he would need 1/12 more cable or 0.083 bar.


3. Now we have to find a common denominator for all of them. The common denominator is 12 again. Multiply 5/6•2 and then you get 10/12, then add 10/12 +2/12(from 1/4) and then you get leftover with 9/12 or 3/4 more wire.

A piece of wood is cut into 3 pieces in the ratio 5:4:3 if the length of the shortest piece is 2 how long is the wood
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5:4:3 = x:y:2

4:3 = y:2                 Cross multiply

3y = 8                     Divide by 3

y = 8/3 = 2.66'

5/x = 3/2

3x = 10                   Divide by 3

x = 10/3

x = 3.33

Length of the wood = 2.66 + 3.33 + 2

Length of the wood = 8 feet

A

All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a graph

To find the range of graph

The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the y-axis.

We can see in the graph that for negative values of x it have positive values, zero and negative values of y.

The graph extends vertically from (-∞,∞), along the y axis. So the range of the function shown in the graph is (-∞,∞).  

Hence, it is concluded that range is All real numbers
