<h2>What we know</h2>

We know that Kate has 3/4 of a cake. She wants to cut the cake into 1/12 sized pieces.

<h2>What we need to know</h2>

We need to know how many slices of cake will she have?

<h2>Show your work</h2>

If Kate wants to cut 3/4 of her cake into 1/12 sized pieces, that would mean 1/4 of the whole cake is 12/12. If there are 3 of the 1/4 slices, then we would need to find out how much that is in twelfths by multiplying:

12 x 4 = 48

36/48 is equal to 3/4. If she is having 3/4, she is having 36 slices.

<h2>Check your work</h2>

To check our work we divide:

48 ÷ 12 = 4

<h2>Answer</h2>

Kate will have 36 slices of cake.

The temperature at 6:00 am was -12 Fahrenheit. The temperature increased by 1/2 Fahrenheit each hour for 6 hours. What was the t
zlopas [31]

Answer: -9°F

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that the temperature at 6:00 am was -12 Fahrenheit and that the temperature increased by 1/2 Fahrenheit each hour for 6 hours.

The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, at noon would be:

= -12°F + 1/2(6)

= -12°F + 3°F

= -9°F

Brian irons 2/9 of his shirt in 3 3/5 minutes. At this rate, how much of his shirt does he iron each minute?
vodka [1.7K]

The speed for which Brian iron the shirts is given by:

R = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{3\frac{3}{5}}

Rewriting we have:

R = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{18}{5}}

R = \frac{10}{162}

Then, for each minute, we have the amount of ironed shirt is:

(\frac{10}{162})(1) = \frac{10}{162}

Answer:

At this rate, Brian plans 10/162 of his shirt.

A rectangle has side lengths of 1 3/4 feet and 2 1/3 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle. Write your answer as a mixed num
katovenus [111]

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangles have congruent opposite side lengths. This means that if one of its longer sides were 2 1/3 feet and one of its shorter sides were 1 3/4 feet then the other longer side would also be 2 1/3 feet and the other shorter side would be 1 3/4 feet.

Therefore to find the perimeter, you would take the given side lengths and multiply them each by 2 to account for both of the congruent sides.

  • 2(2 1/3) + 2(1 3/4) = perimeter of rectangle

To multiply these fractions they would have to be converted into improper fractions. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator---keeping the denominator the same in the converted form.

  • 2 1/3 ⇒ 7/3
  • 1 3/4 ⇒ 7/4

Now you can multiply these fractions by 2. Multiply the numerators by 2 and keep the denominator the same.

  • 2(7/3) + 2(7/4)
  • 14/3 + 14/4

To add them they should have common denominators so multiply 14/3 by 4/4 and 14/4 by 3/3.

  • 14/3 (4/4) = 56/12
  • 14/4 (3/3) = 42/12

Add 54/12 and 42/12 together by combining the numerators and keeping the denominators the same.

  • 54/12 + 42/12 = 96/12

You can simplify this improper fraction even more by dividing 96 by 12 since 12 is a factor of 96.

  • 96/12 = 8

The perimeter of the rectangle is 8 feet.
