In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
statements:
1.) E is midpoint of TP
2) TP bisects MR
reasons:
1.)given
2) MT is congruent to PR (I think)
I might be wrong though so dont count on it being right. I hope I helped. ime not that good at math. I m not BAD but yea
Your answer to this question is B
The total number of outcomes of rolling a die = 6
The total number of outcomes of tossing a coin = 2
The total number of possible outcomes of executing both experiments is 6*2=12, which is also the number of leaves (end of the branch of a tree) on a tree diagram.
Answer:
y = -1/3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
so y = 3, x = 6, m = -1/3
then 3 = (-1/3)6 + b
3 = -2 + b
b = 5
so y = -1/3x + 5
