Answer:
8 * (7 + 4)
See process below
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by writing each number in PRIME factor form:
56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7
32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
Notice that the factors that are common to BOTH numbers are 2 * 2 * 2 (the product of three factors of 2).Therefore we see that the greatest common factor for the given numbers is : 2 * 2 * 2 = 8
Using this, we can write the two numbers as the product of this common factor (8) times the factors that are left on each:
56 = 8 * 7
32 = 8 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 4
We can then use distributive property to "extract" that common factor (8) from the given addition as shown below:
56 + 32
8 * 7 + 8 * 4
8 * (7 + 4)
8 * (11)
88
Improper fractions are called such because the numerator is greater than the denominator. The only way it can be simplified is through a mixed fraction.
c) 10/3 is the improper fraction.
10/3 is simplified into 3 1/3.
Yes, 3/4 is bigger than 3/5.
One way you can verify this is by drawing a bar model, and cut it into four. Color in three pieces.
Then, draw another bar model the same size as the first one, and cut it into five pieces.
Color in three pieces.
You can see that 3/4 has more shaded in area than 3/5.
Another way you can do this is by dividing the numerator by the denominator for both fractions.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
11 (if you wanna know how many cups [which i mean by 2/3] it is 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, to start, a cook has 11 7/8 cups of flour, right? Well, if you subtract 11 7/8 by 2/3 you get 11 5/24. As an estimate, you would get just plain 11 because there is three numbers when you estimate, 11, 11 1/2, or 12. 11 5/24 is more closer to 11 (because 1/2 would be 11 12/24, and 12 would be 11 13/24 or more until 12)
Hope it helped...
