What we want to do first is isolate the variable. To do this we need to multiply each side by 5 to remove the fraction
5 * 5 = 5*
w
Simplify the right side
5 *
w = 1w
Now simplify the left side
5 * 5 = 25
Then we get...
25 = w
There's your answer!
Answer:
<em>2 1/3, 2 1/4, 2 3/7</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Mixed Fractions</u>
Mixed fractions are made of an integer part followed by a proper fraction.
Some examples of mixed fractions are:
3 1/2, -4 5/8, 2 2/3
Between two consecutive integers a and a+1, there are infinitely many fractions. The centered number is a 1/2. Any number with its improper fraction part less than 1/2 is closer to a than to a+1.
In our problem, Jayne bought between 2 and 3 pounds of granola. We need to provide a mixed number that is closer to 2 pounds than to 3 pounds.
We can select any number with integer part 2 and a proper fraction less than 1/2.
Examples could be :
2 1/3, 2 1/4, 2 3/7
All of them are less than 2.5
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.
Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
