Answer:

A) Together the boys didn't even cut half the yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount cut was ...

1/8 + 1/5 = 5/40 +8/40 = 13/40

This amount is less than half = 20/40, so choice A is appropriate.

_____

You can reason about these fractions several ways:

1. half is 2 1/2 fifths. 1/8 is less than 1/5, so 1/5+1/8 < (2 1/2)/5.

2. half is 4/8. 1/5 is more than 1/8 but is less than 2/8. 1/8 + 1/5 < 3/8 < 1/2

3. 1/5 < 1/4; 1/8 < 1/4; 1/2 = 2/4, so two amounts less than 1/4 cannot be more than 1/2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 1/4

x = 1/4                  Put this value in for x

y = 1/4 - 1/4

y = 0

x = 13/4

y = 13/4 - 1/4        The denominators remain the same The numerators are subtracted.

y = (13 - 1)/4

y = 12/4

y = 3

If x is to = 2 then it must be changed so it's denominator is 4

2 = 8/4

y= 8/4 - 1/4

y = 7/4 or 1.75  or 1 3/4
