D is the only one which would make sense :)
Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are exercises to give you practice with
common denominators. For each of these questions, change all
the fractions to common denominators, and the answers jump out at you.
#1). 5/12 = 25/60
2/5 = 24/60
Make um negative, and then you'll have the answer right away.
#2). The one that's negative is obviously the least.
Both positive ones must be bigger than the negative one.
For the positive ones:
2/5 = 6/15
2/3 = 10/15 .
Now it's easy.
#3). This is tough. The least common denominator is 2,520 !
It's probably easier to just do the divisions and get the decimals
for each fraction.
-5/8 = -0.625
-7/9 = -0.777...
-4/5 = -0.8
-3/7 = -0.428...
Now it's easy to line um up.
#4). Sneaky one.
Look closely at each fraction.
B, C, and D are all less than 1, so they're not between 1 and anything more than 1.
8/5 is the only one that's more than 1.
#5). A fraction is just a short way to write a division problem.
When you see a fraction, it means
"the top number divided by the bottom number" .
When you actually do the division, the quotient you get
is the decimal form of the fraction.
To change a decimal into a percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .
The numbers in the boxes at the bottom of #5 are the correct numbers,
but they both should be negative. (because the -3/8 is negative)
Answer:
(3/7)^7
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying exponents we can use the formula: a^m x a^n = a^m+n.
In this case, we can plug in 3/7 for a, and their respective exponents as m and n.
(3/7)^3 x (3/7)^4= (3/7)^3+4= (3/7)^7
Hope this helps!

Answer:
960
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Stan's cookie recipe makes 24 cookies.
- It needs exactly 384 sprinkles.
<u>To Find:</u>
- Number of sprinkles needed for 60 cookies
<h2><u>Solution:</u></h2>
<u>Find the number of sprinkles needed for 1 cookie:</u>
- 24 cookies = 384 sprinkles
- 1 cookie = 384 ÷ 24
- 1 cookie = 16 sprinkles
<u>Find the number of sprinkles needed for 60 cookies:</u>
- 1 cookie = 16 sprinkles
- 60 cookies = 16 x 60
- 60 cookies = 960 sprinkles
Answer: Stan will need 960 sprinkles for 60 cookies.
