- ( x + 6 )
This is the correct answer
Answer:
About 3.7 times or 4 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
6.14 x 10 - 3 = 61.4-3
61.4 - 3 = 58.4
1.98 x 10 - 4 = 19.8 - 4
19.8 - 4 = 15.8
58.4 ÷ 15.8 = 3.696202531645569620253164556962 ≈ 3.7 times
To multiply decimals pretend there is no decimal for example
.165*74 = 12210; then however many digits (not counting zeros) is after the decimal added together (from both numbers) so 3 so 12.21 is the answer
<span>So
let’s simplify the given situation.
We need to find out how much heavier is 91/8 lbs. compare to 2 5/6 lbs.
Since, it’s a combination of whole number and fraction; we cannot directly
subtract this given equation. We need to convert the two given number into a
fraction.
9 1/8 = 8 x 9 = 72 + 1 = 73, 73 is our numerator and 8 is our denominator
=> 73/8
2 5/6 = 6 x 2 = 12 + 5 = 17, 17 is our numerator and 6 is our denominator
=> 17/6
Now, we have 2 fractions with unlike denominator. In order to get a common
denominator, we have to find their least common factor.
=> <u>73</u> - <u>17 </u> = <u>73 x 6 </u> - <u>17 x 8 </u> <u>
</u> 8 6
8 x 6 6
x 8</span><span>
=> <u>438</u> – <u>136 </u> Now, we
have the same denominator, subtract</span><span>
48 48
=> <u>302 </u> or <u>151</u>
48 24
=> 6 <u>7</u>
24
Therefore 9 1/8 lbs. is 6 7/24 lbs. heavier than 2 5/6 lbs.</span>
