<h3>Answer: D)  12 & 3/8</h3>

Whole part = 12

Fractional part = 3/8

==============================================

Explanation:

For now, let's just focus on the fractional parts of each mixed number.

We have these fractions:

  • 1/4
  • 4/16
  • 3/8
  • 1/2

The 4/16 reduces to 1/4, so 4/16 = 1/4

So in reality, we have these fractional parts.

  • 1/4
  • 1/4
  • 3/8
  • 1/2

It's not a typo that I'm listing "1/4" twice.

The next step is to get everything to have the same denominator. That denominator is 8 (aka the LCD)

  • 1/4 = 2/8
  • 1/4 = 2/8
  • 3/8 = 3/8
  • 1/2 = 4/8

Adding those new fractions gets us:

(2/8)+(2/8)+(3/8)+(4/8) = (2+2+3+4)/8 = 11/8

Rewrite that as a mixed number

11/8 = (8+3)/8

11/8 = (8/8) + (3/8)

11/8 = 1 + 3/8

11/8 = 1 & 3/8

We get the result 1 & 3/8, where 1 is the whole part and 3/8 is the fractional part.

Keep in mind that all we've done so far is add up the fractional parts. We were ignoring the whole parts from each original mixed number.

If we add the whole parts (3,2,1,5) we get 3+2+1+5 = 11, which adds onto the previous whole part of 1 to get 12. So that's where the 12 comes from.

The fractional part 3/8 comes along for the ride to get 12 & 3/8 as the final answer, which is choice D.

-----------------

An alternative route you can take is to convert each original mixed number into an improper fraction, then add those improper fractions (don't forget to get the LCD), and lastly convert the result to a mixed number.

igomit [66]

They are both 6.9 miles apart after one hour if they both hike 4 miles/hour

The correct option is (B)

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

In terms of geometry, the triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. The triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

Miranda and Cyndi start hiking from the same point. Miranda hikes at a heading of 270° or due west, and Cyndi hikes at a heading of 30°

<h3>From the isosceles triangle:</h3>

h = 4sin30

h = 4(1/2)

h = 2 miles

<h3>From Pythagoras theorem:</h3>

x² = 4² - h² = 4² - 2²

x = √12

x = 3.46 miles

Total distance = 2×3.46  = 6.9 miles

Thus, they are both 6.9 miles apart after one hour if they both hike 4 miles/hour option (B) 6.9 miles is correct.

Which is larger? 0.6 or 3/4 and explain why? And which one .
trapecia [35]
0.6 is just what it seems like. 3/4 needs to be turned into a decimal for it to be compared with 0.6. 3/4 equates to 0.75, so we can see that 0.6 < 0.75.
