Well, to find out whether she spent more time getting dressed or eating breakfast, we simply have to compare the fractions of the hour that she took on each.
We know that she took 3/6 of an hour to get dressed and 1/4 of an hour to eat breakfast. To find out which activity she spent more time on, we simply need to see which fraction is bigger.
To do this, we must first reduce the fractions to lowest terms. 1/4 is already in lowest terms, so we can leave that alone. 3/6 can be reduced, however, and since 3 goes into 6 twice, it reduces to 1/2.
Now, we can compare the fractions.
Is 1/2 of an hour or 1/4 of an hour more?
The answer is 1/2, so now we know that Bailey spent more time getting dressed than eating breakfast.
Hope that helped! =)
For this case we have that the area is given by:
A = (w) * (l)
Where,
w: width
l: long
Substituting we have:
66 = (w) * (w + 5)
Rewriting
w ^ 2 + 5w - 66 = 0
(w + 11) * (w-6) = 0
Using the positive root we have:
w = 6
Answer:
the width of the frame is:
w = 6 cm
The side lengths are given in proportions which are 2:3:5:6. The perimeter is given as the sum of all the sides which is given as 48 cm. Using ratio and proportion, the sum of all the sides or the perimeter is proportional to the sum of all the fractions and the largest fraction is proportional to the longest side of the quadrilateral.
Let x be the longest side of the quadrilateral. The largest proportion is 6.
6/(2+3+5+6) = 6/16
6/16 = x/48
x= 18 cm. The longest side is 18 cm. The other sides are 6, 9, 15 using the other proportions.
you can solve option C with 6x6
