Three ladders measure 5 3/4 meters, and 7 1/4 meters in length. What is the difference between the longest and shortest lengths?

1 answer:

3 0

7 1/4 - 5 3/4= 1 1/2 because you can either 1) change it into decimals: 7.25-5.75 and do simple subtraction or... 2) u can change the 7 to a 6 and add 4 to the numerator of 1/4 making the equation 6 5/4 - 5 3/4 = 1 2/4 which simplified to 1 1/2 I hope I didn’t confuse you! :))

Which of the following equations is equivalent to x - y = 5?

Masja [62]

Answer:

$6x-6y=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete options are

a) x - 2y = 30

b) 4x - 3y = 30

c) 3x - 4y = 30

d) 6x - 6y = 30

The given equation is

$x-y=5$

Verify option d

we have

$6x-6y=30$

Divide by 6 both sides

$(6x-6y)/6=30/6$

$\frac{6x}{6}-\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{30}{6}$

$x-y=5$

therefore

$x-y=5$ and $6x-6y=30$ are equivalent

Answer:

The factors for 5 are going to be 1 and 5 or their negative counterparts, since no other whole number within the range of 5 can be multiplied to get 5.

Make sense?

Can there be more than one mean or mode in a math problem??

astraxan [27]

Math. When no number occurs more than once in a data set, there is no mode. If each of two numbers occurs twice, we say the set is bimodal.
