The perimeter of the triangle, namely the sum of all its 3 sides, is 110.
now, the three sides are in a 6:7:9 ratio, namely, if we divide 110 by (6+7+9), it will give us hmmm 110/22, a quotient of 22 equal pieces, namely how many times 22 would go into 110.
now, the small side, takes 6 of those pieces, the medium side takes 7 of them and the largest takes 9 of those pieces.
110/22 = 5
the small side is then 6(5).
the medium side is 7(5).
and the largest side is 9(5).
add them up, and you'd get the perimeter, 110 inches.
If you divide by a decimal, you are breaking apart 1 into multiple pieces and so you are trying to find how many of that size piece will fit into 5. For example if you divide by .5 (point five), there are 2 point fives in 1 so there are 10 point fives in 5. The quotient is larger.
I hope you got that...
Basically you need to make the denominator (whats on the bottom) the same, lets take the first one for example
2 3/4, lets put this all over 4 for the same denominator.
2=8/4, and then add this to 3/4 to get 11/4.
the second part will work the same way,
start by making 1 into 8/8. add this to 1/8 to get 9/8
now we have to add 11/4 and 9/8. to do this, you have to find the smallest multiple between the two (for example: between 6 and 4 it would be 12, since 4*3= 12, and 2*6=12)
now, the smallest common multiple between 4 and 8 would just be 8
11/4= 22/8, since you multiply the bottom and top by the same amount so it still equals 11/4, but your denominator will now be 8.
now you can subtract. 22/8- 9/8= 13/8
final answer: 13/8
try the rest yourself since this is important for later math, hoped this helped :)
Answer:
They are both correct but they rounded to different places. Scrooge rounded to the nearest whole number while Bon rounded to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Scrooge rounded up to the next whole number which was three because the tenth place value was 5 or greater.
While Bob on the other hand rounded to the nearest tenth. Which resulted in the number going down because the number in the hundredth place value was less than 5.
Every number consists of digits. One digit is the least number of digits a number can have. The place value is the position of each digit in a number. <span>Digits are separated into groups of three by commas. So, a period is a group of three digits, but not any three digits. So, Drew's sentence is false. A period is a group of consecutive digits.</span>
