A ratio is like a fraction, so since you are provided with the numbers its easy to put it into a ratio
depth is 3.8km
width is 7600km
ratio is 3.8:7600
To add these amounts together, we must first find their least common multiple in order to get common denominators (b/c when you add fractions, the denominators must be the same).
We'll start by listing some of their multiples.
To do this, count by whatever the denominator is:
4 1/2 (denominator is 2): 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
2 1/4 (denominator is 4): 4 8 12 16
6 1/3 (denominator is 3): 3 6 9 12 15
Look and see which is the first multiple that all three denominators have. Circle them if it helps you. In this case, it's 12.
So now we have to multiply the denominators by whatever number it takes to reach 12, and multiply by the same number to the numerator:
4 1/2 (times 6 to both top and bottom) =
4 6/12
2 1/4 (times 3) = 2 3/12
6 1/3 (times 4) = 6 4/12
Add all these fractions together, and you get 12 13/12, which is equal to 13 1/12.
Thus, Peter makes a total of 13 1/2 cups.
Hope this made sense! tell me if anything is confusing/incorrect :))
A= first number
B= second number
C= third number
A + B + C
Then divide by 5
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
5, 12, 13, 19, 24 is already in least to greatest so all we have to do is select the middle number. Since there is an odd number we don't need to calculate any means.
