Answer:
Green and Blue ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
They collect
Red Ribbon = ½ mile
Green Ribbon = ⅛ mile
Blue Ribbon = ¼ mile
To find?
Which colors of ribbons will be collected at the ¾ mile mark.
The interpretation of the question is to test which of the above fractions can divide ¾ without a remainder; in other words, multiples of ¾.
Testing each fraction.
Red Ribbon = ½
¾ ÷ ½
= ¾ * 2
= 3/2
= 1.5 or 1 Remainder 1
This is not an exact multiple of ¾. So, the red ribbon won't be passed here.
Green Ribbon = ⅛
¾ ÷ ⅛
= ¾ * 8
= 24/8
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the green ribbon will be collected.
Testing the last ribbon
Blue = ¼
¾ ÷ ¼
= ¾ * 4
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the blue ribbon will be collected.
Hence, the green and blue ribbons will be collected at ¾ mile mark
Times it bye 4 thin subtract bye 6
Yes 0.634 is a rational
number.
Rational numbers are those numbers that can be still expressed in
standard form or in fraction form and vice-versa. Unlike irrational numbers
that are opposed to the definition of rational numbers. These values include
pi, square root of two and etc. These values are impossible to fractionize.
To better illustrate this
circumstance.
We can have calculate a number that will have a quotient of 0.634
or a fraction that is equal to the given value.
