Given the following question:
First expression:

Second expression:
2 - 2 * 0 ≤ 1
<span>2 ≤ 1 </span>
<span>4 - 2 * (-2) ≤ 1 </span>
<span>8 ≤ 1 </span>
<span>4 - 2 * (1) ≤ 1 </span>
<span>2 ≤ 1 </span>
<span>0 - 2 * 5 ≤ 1 </span>
<span>-10 ≤ 1 </span>
<span>(TRUE</span>
First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.

×

=

Now we just need to add the fractions together

=

9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.

÷

=
=1.5 yardsYour final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.
You can calculate them out and check which one is the most accurate
so if one of the choices was 1/3 of 50, then you would do:
1/3 in the calculator (should be 0.333...) times 50
And you can compare it with the EXACT number, which is:
0.25*53=13.25
This way you can test all the options
8513 is NOT divisible by 9, because the some of its digits (8+5+1+3) = 17 which is not divisible by 9 (answer B)
