Answer:
-54
Step-by-step explanation:
He will have to fly 23 feet, 15 feet down and 8 feet to the acorn
First, we have to find how many times 10 goes into 15.
We can divide 15 by 10, and we will see that 10 goes into 15 1 whole time, with 5/10 left over.
Now, we can simplify!
In order to simplify, we have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 5 and 10. Let's list out the factors (the numbers that can be divided into 5 and 10)
1*5
1*10
2*5
The largest factor, as we can see, is 5! Let's dicide 5/10 by 5.
5/5=1
10/5=2
So, 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, and, if we bring down the whole number we found before, 15/10 is equal to 1 and 1/2! :)
We can check this answer by multiplying the whole number, 1, by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction) 2, and adding the numerator, (the top number of a fraction), 1.
1*2=2
2+1=3
Keep the denominator as 2.
The improper fraction is 3/2, which is equivalent to 15/10 (multiply 3/2 by 5 to see)!
So, our answer is 1 1/2.
I hope I helped! :)
