Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An estimate is usually a guess, but I somehow think that's not what you want.
She starts with 4 2/3 cups of batter. When she divides it into two, one of the batters has 2 1/4 cups. That's the one she puts blueberries in.
The other batter is the one you are interested in. How big is it?
Estimate: One
The estimated size would be 4 2/3 - 2 1/3 = 2 1/3 which is an estimate. It is just taking the closest number to use so you don't have to grab your calculator.
Actual Size: Two
4 2/3 - 2 1/4 is the size of the second batter. Since 2/3 is greater than 1/4 you need only subtract the whole numbers and then the fractions.
<em><u>Whole number subtraction:</u></em> 4 - 2 = 2
<em><u>Fraction subtraction:</u></em> 2/3 - 1/4
Find the Lowest common multiple between 3 and 4: It is 12. 3 and 4 are prime to each other. They have nothing in common.
- 2/3 to 12s: (2*4)/(3*4) = 8 / 12
- 1/4 to 12s: (1 *3) / (4*3) = 3/12
- 8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
So the actual size of the batter containing the walnuts is 2 5/12
6 I think this is correct.
Answer:
(-4;2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. if y=1/2 x+4, then 2y=x+8; it is possible to re-write as x-2y+8=0;
2. if x+4y=4, it is possible to re-write it as x+4y-4=0;
3. if x-2y+8=0 and x+4y-4=0, then x-2y+8=x+4y-4; ⇒ -2y+8=4y-4; ⇒ 6y=12; ⇔ y=2.
4. if y=2, then it is possible to substitute its value into any equation given in the condition:
x+4y=4 (substitution y=2); ⇒ x+8=4; ⇒ x= -4.
5. finally x= -4; y=2. It means (-4;2)
PS. the suggested solution is not the only way to resolve this task.
1/18 devided by 2/3 =
1/18 times 3/2 = 1/12 times 1/6 = 1/72
