Here are the steps to convert .3125 into fraction form:

First we write .3125 as

.3125

Now we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point:

.3125

.3125 x 10000

1 x 10000

3125

10000

In order to reduce the fraction we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 3125 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.

The factors of 3125 are: 1 5 25 125 625 3125

The factors of 10000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 40 50 80 100 125 200 250 400 500 625 1000 1250 2000 2500 5000 10000

Answer: $\frac{20}{3}\ minutes$ or $6 \frac{2}{3}\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.

2. Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction (This will be the new numerator).

3. The denominator does not change.

Then:

$23\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(23*3)+1}{3}= \frac{70}{3}\ minutes$

You know that he had 30 minutes in time-out, he counted spots on the ceiling for $\frac{70}{3}$ minutes and the rest of the time he made faces at his stuffed tiger.

Then, in order to calculate the time Calvin spent making faces at his stuffed tiger, you need to subract 30 minutes and $\frac{70}{3}$ minutes:

$30\ min-\frac{70}{3}=(\frac{3(30)-70}{3})=\frac{20}{3}\ minutes$ or $6 \frac{2}{3}\ minutes$

Twice c is greater than 28

OLEGan [10]

I think C would equal 15, because 14 + 14 = 28; 15 + 15 = 30 which is greater than 28.

A bag contains 10 marbles:

Len [333]

Total number of marble = 10
3green
2red
5 blue
Probability that the first marble is red = 2/10

Probability that the second is blue = 5/9(a reduction in the total number of marbles, because after the first marble was picked it wasn't replaced)

Probability of 1st and 2nd being red and blue respectively = 2/10 × 5/9
=1/9....

Hope this helped...?

12. $\frac{3}{4} , \frac{9}{12}$

13. $\frac{4}{10} , \frac{4}{100}$

16. $\frac{3}{9}$ is already in simplest form.
