Answer:

10/12 can be approximated by 1

3/8 can be approximated by 1/2

so the answer to the subtraction must be really close to 1-1/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The real solution can be found by converting to numerator 24, which is the LCM, or Lowest Common Multiple of numerators 12 and 8.

10/12 = 20/24

3/8 = 9/24

Now the subtraction is (20-9)/24 = 11/24 ≈ 0.4583

So the actual result 0.4583 is actually pretty close to 0.5.

A benchmark value is nothing more than a really simple fraction or integer (1/2,  1/3, 1, 2, ...) that you know where to plot on the number line.

Making approximations can serve as a double check to see if you didn't make any mistakes on the actual calculation.

Help plsss!! I’d rlly appreciate it :]

The volume of the Apple iPad Mini 2 is 12.561 in³.

The new volume of the  Pear-Apple is  24.53 in³.

The new volume of the  Pear-Apple is 5.3in³.

The scale factor to have a volume that is half that of the iPad Mini is 0.79.

The scale factor to have a volume that is double that of the iPad Mini is 1.26

<h3 /><h3>What is the volume of the Apple iPad Mini 2?</h3>

Volume = length x width x height

7.9 x 5.30 x 0.30 = 12.561 in³

<h3>What is the volume after the scale factors are applied?</h3>

Dimensions after the 1.25 scale factor is applied: (1.25 x 7.9) x (1.25 x 5.30) x (1.25 x 0.3)

= 9.875 x 6.625 x0.375 = 24.53 in³

Dimensions after the 0.75 scale factor is applied: (0.75 x 7.9) x (0.75 x 5.30) x (0.75 x 0.3)

= 5.925 x 3.975 x 0.225 = 5.3in³

Scale factor to have a volume that is double that of the iPad Mini : 2^{1/3} = 1.26

Scale factor to have a volume that is half that of the iPad Mini : 0.5^{1/3} = 0.79
