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.

Each calendar will sell for $5 each write an equatio to model the total income for selling calendars
Brrunno [24]
To answer the question above, I let x be the number of calendars sold. You may use any other letter as this is just for representation. The total income generated in selling calendars is calculated by multiplying the number of calendars with the price. That is,
                                   total income = 5x
If we let total income be y, our equation is further simplified into, 
                                            y = 5x
