For a, we have 42in/9ft. Since 12 inches are in 1 foot, we can multiply it by that to get (42in/9ft)*(1ft/12inches) = 42/108. We put the foot on the top of 1ft/12in to cancel them out. Since 2 goes into both 42 and 108, we divide it by 2/2 to get 26/54. Repeating the process again, we get 13/27
If we were to say that there are 12 inches in a foot and therefore divide 42 by 12 (to get 42 inches in feet), we'd get the same answer due to that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches and if you were to divide it by 1 foot/12 inches, since they are the same thing, you get the same answer
For c, since it may be hard to get (42/12)/9, it could just be easier to have 42/(9*12)=42/108
I’m pretty sure it’s just 1/8
Answer:
Options A, B, C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is not complete; here is the complete question.
Tori bought 24 candy bars for 69 cents each. She used partial products to find the total cost in cents. Which are NOT possible partial products for 24 × 69?
A. 24
B. 36
C. 180
D. 240
E. 1656
Cost of one candy = 69 cents
Since, cost of 24 candies = Cost of one candy × Number of candies
= 69 × 24
For partial product,
69 × 24 = (60 + 9)(20 + 4)
= 60(20 + 4) + 9(20 + 4)
= 60×20 + 60×4 + 9×20 + 9×4
= 1200 + 240 + 180 + 36
= 1656
Therefore, Options A, B, C and D are not possible partial products.
