Answer: 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The x's denote the insects measured so the longest insects would be of lengths:
1³/₄ inch, 1³/₄ inch and 1¹/₂ inch.
Adding them together would require converting them to improper fractions first:
7/4, 7/4, 3/2
Pick a denominator that is both denominators' lowest common multiple = 4
Adding them:
Divide the LCM by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the result by the numerator:
= (7 + 7 + 6) / 4
= 20/4
= 5 inches
So here is how we are going to find out what is ED.
Based on the given figure, it states that, AE is 10, and EB is 4 and CE is 8.
So, <span>(AE/CE)=(ED/EB)
10/8 = ED/4 <<multiply both sides by the common denominator which is 8 and the result would be:
80/8 = 8ED/4
10 = 2ED <<divide both sides by 2 and we get
ED = 5.
Therefore, the measurement of ED is 5.
