-the fractions have to be EQUAL if they are equivalent fractions

-we multiply the numerator and denominator by the SAME number

-when comparing fractions think (how many slices / the size of the slice ) = (15 slices / size 20) is more than (12 slices / size 20)

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters more than the width of the rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 meters. What ar

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Length = 12 m, Width = 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle is b.

Length, l = 4+b

The perimeter of the rectangle = 40 m

We know that,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

2(4+b+b) = 40

4+2b = 20

Subtract 2 from boths sides,

2b = 16

b = 8

Width = 8 m

Length = 4+8 = 12 m

Hence, the length and the width of the rectangle is 12 m and 8 m respectively.

A baseball player hit 73 home runs in a season. Of the 73 home runs, 25 went to right field, 25 went to right center field, 8

Elenna [48]

Answer:

A baseball player hit 73 home runs in a season.

Of the 73 home runs, 25 went to right field, 25 went to right center field, 8 went to center field, 10 went to left center field, and 5 went to left field.

(a) the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left center field = $\frac{10}{73}=0.1369$ = 13.69%

(B) Since the probability of an unusual event is 0, it was possible for this player to hit a home run to left center field.

Cottage cheese is being sold in different size containers. The sizes and prices are given below: 4 - 5 ounce containers for $5.

Karolina [17]

Division is the process of finding the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. The 16-ounce container is the better buy.

<h3>What is Division?</h3>

The division is the process of finding the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.

The prices of the different size containers are given to us,

4-5 ounce containers for $5. 00

1-12 ounce container for $3. 24

1-16 ounce container for $4. 19

Now, find the cost of the cheese per ounce when we buy the minimum cheese and when we but the maximum amount of cheese.

1. For the first Container, 4-5 ounce containers for $5.00

If we buy 4 ounces of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $1.25 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 5 ounces for $5 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $1.

2. For, the second container, 1-12 ounce container for $3.24

If we buy 1 ounce of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $3.24 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 5 ounces for $5 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $0.27.

3. For, the third container, 1-16 ounce container for $4.19.

If we buy 1 ounce of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $4.19 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 16 ounces for $4.19 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $0.26.

Thus, if we buy the maximum amount of cheese from each of the boxes, the third box will be the cheapest.

Hence, The 16-ounce container is the better buy.

Find the measure of ∠2.<br><br> and how did you find the answer??

Rufina [12.5K]

The 2 lines are parallel, so the 2 sides(e.g. 1 and 2/ 3 and 49) add up = 180 and In this case the 2 sides are equal as u can see from the original diagram so the angle of 2 is 180-49=131.
