Answer:
Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s
Jessica runs 1 mile in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s
jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s
ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s
Since:
11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25
Emily runs the fastest.
Make 2 graphs and with the second graph graph the cell fee and with the first Do the minutes
I think the answer to your question might be 6
An easier way to do this is to make the fractions improper fractions.
3 1/6 can be rewritten as 19/6. 1 4/6 can be rewritten as 10/6. (Multiply the denominator by the number at its side, and add it to the numerator).
2 3/6 is 15/6.
Subtract 10/6 from 19/6.
19/6-10/6=9/6.
9/6 is not 15/6, therefore she did not use 2 3/6 yards of fabric.
Set up proportions.
3/4 cups → 1 batch
x cups → 2 batches
x = 2(3/4) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups
3/4 cups → 1 batch
y cups → 9 batches
y = 9(3/4) = 6 3/4 cups
