A group of friends went to the movies. They shared 2 bags of popcorn equally. If each person got 2/3 of a bag of popcorn, how ma

Answer:

There would have been three people in the group.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you add 2/3 together until you get that amount, it will add up to having three people. If this sounds confusing, here is a visual thing to help.

2/3+2/3=4/3 which can also equal 1 1/3

1 1/3 + 2/3 =2

you added 2/3 together three times to get two, so three is the answer.

Hope this helps!

A mirror is 24 inches high and 28 inches wide. The center of the mirror will hang 514 feet from the floor on a wall that is 8 fe

Vanyuwa [196]

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling once the mirror is hung on the wall is 21 inches

The dimension of the mirror is given as:

$Height = 24\ in$

$Width = 28\ in$

From the center of the mirror to the floor of the wall, the distance is:

$Distance =5\frac14\ ft$

So, the distance to the top of the mirror will be:

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft + \frac 12 \times Height$

Substitute 24 for height

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ \frac 12 \times 24\ in$

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ 12 \ in$

Convert feet to inches

$Top = 5\frac 14\times 12\ in+ 12 \ in$

$Top = 63\ in+ 12 \ in$

$Top = 75 \ in$

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling is the difference between the height of the wall and 75 inches.

So, we have:

$Distance = 8\ ft - 75\ in$

Convert feet to inches

$Distance = 8\times 12\ in - 75\ in$

$Distance = 96\ in - 75\ in$

$Distance = 21\ in$

Hence, the distance is 21 inches

Carlos says that 17.43 divided by 100 is the same as 174.3 times 0.01<br> Is he correct? Explain

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find $17.43$ divided by $100$

$\frac{17.43}{100}=0.1743$

Step 2

Find $174.3$ times $0.01$

$174.3*0.01=\frac{174.3}{100}=1.743$

Compare

$0.1743\neq 1.743$
