Shortest to tallest: Plant A, Plant B, Plant C.
Given:
Plant A 1/3 inch tall
Plant B 3/4 inch tall
Plant C 5/6 inch tall
Order from shortest to tallest.
First we need to get the least common multiple of the three fractions.
Multiple of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12
Multiple of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiple of 6: 6, 12, 18
Their least common multiple is 12. We need to multiply each fraction by the number that will give the product of 12 to the denominator.
Plant A: 1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12
Plant B: 3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
Plant C: 5/6 * 2/2 = 10/12
Since the denominator is common, we will use the numerator as basis in ordering the plants from shortest to tallest.
4 is less than 9 and 9 is less than 10.
so, Plant A is the shortest, Plant B is the medium height, and Plant C is the tallest.
Answer:
197:100
Step-by-step explanation:
9.85km in m =9850m
9850:5000
÷10 ÷10
985:500
÷5 ÷5
197:100
as we can’t simplify any more, this must be the lowest term.
If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
