Find the distance between -2 1/2 and -5 3/4 on a number line

Mathematics

Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert these numbers to a mixed fraction.

-5 3/4 => -23/4

-2 1/2 => -5/2

Make them have a common denominator

-5/2 => -10/4

-23/4 can stay the same.

To find the distance between the two numbers, subtract the lesser value from the greater value.

-23/4 is <u>less</u> than -10/4.

(-10 - (-23)) /4

= 13/4

Therefore the distance between -2 1/2 and -5 3/4 on a number line is 13/4.

Temka [501]
To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.

55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.

So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.
