I am not allowed to answer more than 3 questions. So I will do the first 3.
15a. i) (2/3) = 4/9
ii) (2/3) = 8/27
iii) (2/3) = 16/81
b. The product is small because you are finding the fraction of a fraction.
16. Compared to the factors, the product is less than each fraction. This is because, as stated above, you are trying to find a fraction (a part of the whole) of another fraction. When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, the whole number decreases. The same applies to a fraction.
Represent the total number of boxes that both jean and clint stack in h hours,
total number of boxes=(50xh)+(60xh) you want the total number of boxes for both of them together. so the amount they can stack times h or the hours. so if h=5 you would do 50x5 plus+ 60x5 which would give you 250 and 300. add the two you get 550 boxes for 5 hours total.
