Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use your example as a starting point. <em>Determine whether the same number will divide each 10 and 65 evenly</em>. In this case, the answer is yes, and the number is 5. 10/5 = 2, and 65/5 = 13. Thus, the fraction in lowest terms is 2/13.
There are an infinite number of different equations that have
x=2/3 as the solution, or as one of several solutions.
You didn't show us your list of choices, so we can't help you
pick the right one.
Just take each choice, one at a time. Write ' 2/3 ' in place of 'x'
in each equation, and simplify everything. You'll wind up with
one equation that's true, and the others will say something that's
nonsense.
The one that's true is the one that has x=2/3 as its solution.
5.5 • 5= 27.5+27.5+65+65+71.5+71.5=328
13•5=65
13•5.5=71.5
THE ANSWER IS 328
Answer: 68 minutes or 1 hour and 8 minutes spent in all putting up the fence
Step-by-step explanation:
(4/5) x 60 = 48 minutes
4/5 is the same as 0.8, which is what you get when you divide four by 5
So, 0.8 x 60 = 48 is also acceptable
Then,
(1/3) x 60 = 20 minutes
1/3 is the same as 0.333333333333, which is what you get when you divided 1 by 3
So, 0.33333(and so on) x 60 = 20
- Typically, you can round 0.3333333 down to something like 0.333 which should give you a similar answer
Then, as it asks you for how much time he spent in all, you add those two together
48 minutes + 20 minutes = 68 minutes OR 1 hour and 8 minutes (There is sixty minutes in 1 hour, so subtract the 60 from 68 and then you have 8 minutes left, thus 1 hour and 60 minutes)
This is completely wrong for logical and mathematical reasons, but for the sake of time I will go over the mathematical reason.
Because all percentages are out of 100, nothing can physically be over 100%, though it is used frequently in hyperbolic sentences and exaggerated statements.
Hope I helped and good luck!
