An envelope is 6 in. wide and 4 in. high. Will a card with an 8 in. diagonal fit in it? Identify the correct explanation.

1 answer:

5 0

First we have to find the diagonal of the card. We do this by using the Pythagoras theorem: A^2 = b^2 + c^2
= 6^2 + 4^2
=36 + 16
= 52
A^2= 52
Sqrt A^2 = sqrt 52
A = 7.2
Since the envelopes diagonal is 7.2 inches and the card’s diagonal is 8 inches and 7.2<8. Your answer is c)

$\frac{1}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{6}$

First, apply this following rule: $a$ ÷ $\frac{b}{x} = a$ × $\frac{c}{b}$
$\frac{1}{6}$ × $\frac{6}{2}$
Second, apply this following rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}$
$\frac{1x6}{6x2}$
Third, multiply 1 × 6 to get 6 and 6 × 2 to get 12.
$\frac{6}{12}$
Fourth, find the GCF of 6 and 12.
Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The GCF is 6.
Fifth, divide the numerator by the GCF.
$6$ ÷ $6 = 1$
Sixth, divide the denominator by the GCF.
$12$ ÷ $6 = 2$
Seventh, collect the new numerator and new denominator.
$\frac{1}{2}$

Answer as fraction: $\frac{1}{2}$
Answer as decimal: 0.5
