Shorter <span>piece = x
longer </span><span>piece = 4x
x + 4x = 48.5
5x = 48.5
x = 48.5/5
x = 9.7 cm </span>← shorter piece
longer piece = 4x = 4 * 9.7 = 38.8 cm
Answer:
2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5=0.2
7.2/3=2.4
The answer is $1.50.
Reason being is because $13/$2 is $6.5
Then after you divide you have to subtract $5
Which will give you $1.50
As you saw, if two or more fractions have the same denominator, you can compare them by looking at their numerators. As you can see below, 3/4<span> is larger </span>than 1/4<span>. The larger the numerator, the larger the fraction.</span>
