1/6 cup of raisins. this is because 2/3 = 4/6 therefore you have 1 5/6 cups in total before the raisins are added
You would take 175 and multiply it by 0.20 which is 35. The you would subtract 35 from 175 because it is marked down so you would get 140. Next, you would take 140 and multiply it by 0.10 and get 14. Finally subtract 14 from 140 to get your answer which would be $126.
He didn’t multiply the equation by 1/2 in the second part so it threw his whole answer off. Hope this helps
Answer: 8.29 still...
Step-by-step explanation:
When your doing the nearest hundreth, the thousandth has to be close to 10 to make it a diffrent number, if it WAS, then it would be 8.30
You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.
