We have an object measured in <u>Meters</u>, and we want to cut sections of it off in <u>Centimeters</u>, a different unit of measurement.
Because we're subtracting sections of the pipe, we want to make the units the same, this will make our calculations easier.
1 Meter = 100 Centimeters, so, <u>2.5 Meters = 250 Centimeters</u>
We're cutting ( 60 Cm + 35 Cm + 90 Cm ) off, which totals <u>185 Cm</u>.
250 Cm Pipe - 185 Cm Cuts = 65 Cm Pipe Left
This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4
To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.
I'll use 12
The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12
10/12-3/12 = 7/12
So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.
Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda
Answer:
1 bag of chips cost $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
total money spent minus cost of soda = price of 2 bags of chips
$4.00- $1.50 = $2.50
2 bags of chips divided by 2 = price for one bag
$2.50 / 2 = $1.25
