Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator. So ...
The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56
3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56
7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46
So you need a number that is between 49 and 24
There is only one 27 / 56
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
22/4 cups. 1/2 times 2 is 1 cup. 11/4 times 2 is 22/4
