Suki rode her bike 6/7 mile. Claire rode her bike 1/3 mile. They want to compare how far they each rode their bikes using benchm
1 answer:
Answer:
6/7 > 1/2
1/3 < 1/2
Suki rode her bike a longer distance than Clarie
Step-by-step explanation:
Suki's distance = 6/7 miles
Compare with bechmark 1/2
6/7 and 1/2
Make the denominators same
(6*2)/(7*2) and (1*7)/(2*7)
12/14 and 7/14
12/14 is greater than 7/14
12/14 > 7/14
Therefore, 6/7 > 1/2
Clarie distance = 1/3 miles
Compare with bechmark 1/2
1/3 and 1/2
Make the denominators same
(1*2)/(3*2) and (1*3)/(2*3)
2/6 and 3/6
2/6 is less than 3/6
2/6 < 3/6
Therefore,
1/3 < 1/2
Compare Suki's distance with Clarie
compare 6/7 and 1/3
Make the denominators same
(6 * 3)/(7 * 3) and (1 * 7)/(3 * 7)
18/21 and 7/21
18/21 > 7/21
Suki rode her bike a longer distance than Clarie

Answer: This statement isn't true.
Step-by-step explanation: By finding like denominators, you can add the fractions on each side. Then, compare by cross multiplying.
We need to find 240,000 written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten.
We need to get rid of the four zeros behind 24 in 240,000.
24 would be our whole number.
We would need to multiply 24 by 10,000 to get 240,000.
10,000 is equal to because there are 4 zeros. Ex. when multiplying 200 by 30, we first multiply 2 * 3 then we add 3 zeros to the end of 6. So for 10*10*10*10, we add 4 zeros to the end of 1 which equals 10,000.
So the answer would be 24 ×
