Answer:
I believe the answer is d because it couldn't be any smaller than either box.
Answer:
The key is finding a common # on the bottom (aka: a common 'denominator')
once you do this, you can easily add and subtract them!
Step-by-step explanation:
EX:
1/2 + 2/3 = ?
<u>*EASIEST TRICK!!*</u>
take your 2nd denominator: (3) and multiply it by the entire (1st fraction): 1/2
<em>(when we MULTIPLY fractions, it is easy as pie, we can just multiply across the top and across the bottom) in this case, we will multiply both top and bottom by the 2nd denominator (3)</em>
(1 x 3)/(2 x 3) = 3/6 <em>(3/6 is another way of saying 1/2, so we're good!)</em>
now take the 1st denominator (2), and multiply the entire 2nd fraction by that:
(2 x 2)/(3 x 2) = 4/6
<em>now we have 6 on the bottom of both! time for the magic:</em>
3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6
but wait! (that means we have 7 slices of a 6-piece pie! ...so we <em>actually </em>have, 1 full (6-piece pie) and 1 slice leftover! <em>(awww yeeea)</em>
<em>so, 7/6</em><em> --> </em><em>1 </em><em>(full pie) </em><em>1/6 </em><em>(leftover!)</em>
<u><em>now to put it all back together:</em></u>
1/2 + 2/3 = 1 & 1/6
Answer:
In order to write this in scientific notation, we must move the decimal from the beginning all the way to between the 5 and the 9
Note: you can move the decimal anywhere you want but typically scientific notation will have the decimal in between the first and second digit.
Since we move the decimal 24 digits to the right, our answer will be
5.972 * 10^24
or
5.972E24
Hope this helps, have a wonderful day/night, stay safe, happy holidays, and merry christmas!
