Answer a because...................
Associative property of multiplication
(note, ab means a times b)
a(bc)=(ab)c
allows us to move parenthasees around when all multiplying
11/10 is closer to 1.
To solve for this, give them common denominators. Lets make it 80 for this one.
To get 80, you multiply 8 by 10, so you have to do the same to the number on top. This gives you 70/80.
To get 80 for the second fraction, you multiply by 8 and get 88/80.
Now lets take the numbers on top and subtract them from 80.
88 - 80 = 8
80 - 70 = 10
8 is less than 10, and so 11/10 is closer.
Answer:
26/3 or 8.66666 (8.6 with a line over the 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem, 13/2 pounds is only 3/4 of a quart. A unit rate, however, has a denominator value of 1. To solve this question, we must change the value of 3/4 to 1.
The first step to this is changing 3/4 to 1/4. This means affecting the value 13/2 pounds. 1/4 is a third of 3/4. We must find a third of 13/2 to properly change this relationship. So, we should do 13/2 ÷ 3. This can also be written as 13/2*3. So, a third of 13/2 is 13/6. Our new relationship is 13/6 pounds = 1/4 quart.
Now, we can multiply 13/6 and 1/4 by 4 to get ? and 4/4, or 1. We can multiply the numerator by 4 to finish this step. 13/6 becomes 13*4/6, which equals 52/6. 52/6 can be divided by 2 to simplify the fraction and becomes 26/3.
So, the <em>unit rate of 13/2 pounds per 3/4 quart is 26/3</em>. 26/3 can also be written as 8.66666, or 8.6 with a line over the 6, in decimal form.
