Answer:</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Answer: 8/9 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
The word 'of' means 'times' as far as fractions are concerned. In this case, we have 1/3 of 2 1/3.
First, it is a good idea to make 2 1/3 an improper fraction - as 8/3, so now we have:
1/3 of 8/3, but since 'of' means 'times' we have,
1/3 x 8/3 = 8/9
The answer is 8/9 cups.

Answer:
36hr 16min
Step-by-step explanation:
1pool/17hr - 1pool/32hr = 1 pool/xhr
1/17 - 1/32 = 1/x
Use common denomminator of 17*32 = 544
32/544 - 17/544 = 1/x
15/544 = 1/x
x = 544/15
x = 36 4/15 hr
x = 36hr 16min
