Separating the balloons into five equal groups
<span>⊙⊙⊙ ___ ⊙⊙⊙ ___ ⊙⊙⊙ ___ ⊙⊙⊙ ___ ⊙⊙⊙ </span>
<span>each group (fifth) has three balloons ___ four-fifths is twelve</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total weight of aluminum cans that Pete collected for recycling is 47 pounds.
Total weight of aluminum cans that Jo collected for recycling is 52 pounds.
They can get $0.21 per pound for the cans. Therefore,
The total amount that Pete will get for collecting 47 pounds of aluminum would be
0.21 × 47 = $9.87
The total amount that Jo will get for collecting 52 pounds of aluminum would be
0.21 × 52 = $10.92
The total amount of money that they would get is
9.87 + 10.92 = $20.79
Greetings!
The best way to compare fractions is to find the LCM (The Lowest Common Denominator) of each of the fractions. This can be done simply by listing the multiples of the denominators.
Multiples:
3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27...210,213
10:10,20,30,40,60,70,80...210,220
6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48...210,216
7: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49...210,217
The LCM is 210:
3*70=210
10*21=210
6*35=210
7*30=210
Now, we must do what we do the denominators to the numerators:
1*70=70
70/210
2*21=42
42/210
1*35=35
=35/210
2*30=60
=60/210
The fraction with the largest numerator has the greatest value; In this case it 1/3 or 70/210.
Hope this helps.
