Answer:

7/15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator between the two fractions. The least common denominator in this case would be 15, so you have to multiply 1/3 by 5 to have a denominator of 15. Then you multiply 1/5 by 3 to have a denominator of 15. You will find that Mark ran a distance of 2 5/15 km and Shaun ran 3 3/15 km. To make it even easier, you can add the whole number back into the fraction so Mark will have ran 35/15 km and Shaun will have ran 48/15 km meaning that Shaun will have ran more. Then you set you fractions up and subtract them.

2/3 as a decimal is 0.66/0.6, 7/6 as a decimal is 1.16, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125, and 9/10 as a decimal is 0.9

A student states that the translation of triangle ABC is A’B’C’. What measurements or properties of lines AA', BB', and CC' do y

dangina [55]

If you can show that the following two items are true

AA' = BB' = CC'
AA' || BB' || CC'

then you have shown that triangle A'B'C' is a translated or shifted copy of triangle ABC. In other words, they are the same triangle.
