What's the difference between -1/2 and 1/6

Mathematics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer: -4/6 or -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find a common denominator among the fractions, which would be 6.

Convert -1/2 to have 6 as its denominator.

-1/2* 3/3 = -3/6

And then subtract them.

-3/6 - 1/6 = -4/6

-4/6 simplified is -2/3

When you subtract a positive number from a negative number, you are adding their absolute values.

An artist is constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle. The artist wants to use string to tightly tie each vertex of
Liula [17]

Answer:

  65.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of strings required to tie each vertex to the other three will be ...

  (4)(3)/2 = 6

Those strings will be perimeter strings plus two diagonal strings. The lengths of the perimeter strings are given as 12 ft and 7 ft. The lengths of the diagonal strings can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d² = 12² +7² = 144 +49 = 193

  d = √193 ≈ 13.892

Then the total length of all strings is ...

  L = 2(12.0 +7.0 +13.9) = 65.8 . . . . feet

The artist will need 65.8 feet of string.

A square has an area of 121 square centimetres.<br> What is its perimeter?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

  44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is the square of the side length. This means the side length is the square root of the area.

  s = √A = √(121 cm²) = 11 cm

The perimeter of a square is the sum of its side lengths. There are 4 equal-length sides, so the perimeter is 4 times the length of one side:

  P = 4s = 4(11 cm)

  P = 44 cm

The perimeter of the square is 44 cm.
