Answer: 9 3/4 feet long
Explanation:
1 1/2 x 6 1/2 = 3/2 x 13/2 = 39/4 = 9 3/4 feet long
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
has to sweep 4/6
already swept 3/6
it needs to sweep 1/6 because
4 / 6-3 / 6 = 1/6
Since they are fractions with the same denominator, you place the same denominator and subtract the numerators.
What we know:
Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 7 liters of natural oil for every 5 liters of synthetic oil.
What we need to find:
If 355 liters of synthetic oil are used, how many liters of petrolyn oil will be made?
Set up a proportion to find how much natural oil is used.
7L natural oil/5L synthetic oil = x/355 synthetic oil where x=natural oil
7/5=x/355
(5)(x)=(7)(355) cross multiplied
5x=2485 simplified
5/5x=2485/5 multiplicative inverse
x=497L
Now, add both synthetic oil and natural oil to find amount of petrolyn oil.
355 L synthetic oil + 497 L natural oil= 852 L of petrolyn oil
No, if you are subtracting a bigger than the one it is being taken from then the answer will be negative. Ex:5-10=-5
Hope this helps:)
