Answer:

A unit rate means a rate for one of something. We write this as a ratio with a denominator of one. For example, if you ran 70 yards in 10 seconds, you ran on average 7 yards in 1 second. Both of the ratios, 70 yards in 10 seconds and 7 yards in 1 second, are rates, but the 7 yards in 1 second is a unit rate.

The ratio of an object's weight on Earth to its weight on Mars is 5 to 2. How much would a man, who weighs 145 pounds on Earth,

butalik [34]

To answer this youd have to set up a proportion. 5/2 is the ratio of weight on earth and mars respectively. The other side has to have the same ratio where 125lbs is the weight on earth and x is the weight on mars. The equation would look like 5/2=125/x. Youd have to cross multiply, and would get (125)(2)=5x. Solve for x to find the weight on mars

Steven, a tailor, got an order to make a blazer. The customer specifically asked him to save 5⁄6 of a foot of the given cloth to

xz_007 [3.2K]

To answer this question, we just need to subtract the saved cloth from the requested cloth:

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{5}{12}$

Since the fractions don't have the same denominator, we have to find the least common denominator. Luckily, since 6 goes into 12 twice, we can convert $\frac{5}{6}$ into $\frac{10}{12}$ :

$\frac{5}{6}( \frac{2}{2}) - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{10}{12} - \frac{5}{12}$

Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can subtract them:

$\frac{10}{12} - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$

The difference between the requested cloth and the saved cloth is 5/12 of a foot, or 0.4166'.
