Explain how to use the missing pieces strategy to compare two fractions.include a diagram with your explanation.

1 answer:

7 0

In order for us to tell whichever fraction is greater than or lesser than, we need to look for the missing part.

For example, we have 2/3 and 1/3.
2/3 needs to have 1/3 in order to complete the whole.
1/3 needs to have 2/3 in order to complete the whole.

1/3 < 2/3
<span>So 2/3 is bigger than 1//3</span>

Julia is going to the store to buy candies. Small candies cost $4 and extra-large candies cost $12.She needs to purchase at leas

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Small candies $=9$

Extra large candies $=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small candies $=x$

Extra large candies $=y$

the number of candies is at least $20$ .

$x+y\geq20$

Cost of $1$ small candy $=\$4$

Cost of $1$ extra large candy $=\$12$

but she has only $\$180$ to spend

$4x+12y\leq180$

Solve for

$x+y=20.......(1)\\4x+12y=180.....(2)\\eqn(2)-eqn(1)\times4\\8y=100\\y=\frac{100}{8} \\y=\frac{25}{8} \\from\ eqn(1)\\x+\frac{25}{2}=20\\ x=20-\frac{25}{2} \\x=\frac{15}{2}$

Since number of candies should be integer.

let $x=7,y=13$

total spend $4\times7+12\times13=184$ which is more than $\$180$ , so this combination is not possible.

$let\ x=8,y=12\\8\times4+12\times12=176$

She has $\$4$ more so she can buy $1$ more small candy.

Hence small candy $=9$

extra large candy $=12$

5 1/2 by 4 3/4 by 1/4 scale it down by 1/10

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

(11/20 by 19/40 by 1/40) OR (0.55 by 0.475 by 0.025)

Step-by-step explanation:

To scale down a set of measurements, simply multiply the original measurement by the factors you're scaling it by. For example, take the first measurement of 5 1/2. To scale this down, I turned the value into an improper fraction (11/2) to make the multiplication process easier. Then, I multiplied 11/2 by the factor of 1/10.

After that, I got 11/20, which is the new first measurement.
