Given:
10 yards required
5 2/3 yards on hand.
We need to subtract the yards on hand from the total yards required.
First, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5 2/3 = ((5*3)+2)/3 = (15+2)/3 = 17/3
Second, we need to multiply 10 by a fraction that will give us the denominator of 3.
10 * 3/3 = (10*3)/3 = 30/3
Third, we do subtraction using our derived fractions.
30/3 - 17/3 = (30-17)/3 = 13/3
Lastly, we simplify the improper fraction. Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator. Its simplified form is a mixed fraction.
13/3 = 4 1/3
Arliss needs to buy 4 1/3 yards more to complete the required yard length.
Answer:
geometric (so it's a 1:3 ratio I believe)
Step-by-step explanation:
you're multiplying by 3 each time
Since the nickles are first and there are (1.00 /.05= 20) 20 nickles in a dollar the first number is 20 then next is quarters and there is (1.00 / .25= 4) 4 quarters in a dollar so the second number is 4 so now u have to simplify if you were told to
the number 20 can be divided by 4 and the answer is 5 the number 4 is next divide by 4 and is 1 so the whole answer is <u>5 to 1 or 5:1</u> <u /><u />
