Sarah: 48 * 1/8
Jane: 36 * 1/9
you could do 2 things here
a. solve the problem by multiplying the two "fractions" together for each person to get a number, and the larger number means the larger piece
or
b. take a step back and look at it piece by piece
first lets compare
Sarah has a piece of Ribbon equal to 48 inches while
Jane's ribbon is only 36 inches in length
so Sarah has the most ribbon to start out with
now lets compare the two fractions
1/8 and 1/9
the smaller the denominator the bigger the number actually is
because the denominator just means "divided by" this number, so the smaller the number, the less "groups" the numerator is being split up into.
now in that case, 1/8 is the bigger fraction, and this fraction belongs to Sarah
now if Sarah has the larger Ribbon and the larger fraction, then she automatically has the larger ribbon.
however, in this problem it asks for "how much longer"
so we have to treat each of the numbers for each person as if it was a fraction
48 inches for Sarah and 36 inches for Jane will be over 1, showing that it is 48 and 36 "wholes" or whole numbers
48/1 and 36/1
now we multiply 48/1 by 1/8 because that i how much ribbon sarah needs
multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator
48/1* 1/8 = 48/8 or simplified to 6/1 or 6 inches of ribbon for Sarah
do the same for Jane
36/1 * 1/9 = 36/9 or simplified to 4/1 or 4 inches of Ribbon for Jane
therefore we can conclude
Sarah has 2 more inches of Ribbon than Jane
I dont know if this helps since no one else is answering I’d like to help
To find slope.. the M in the slope formula of y=Mx+b represents slope
So as long as you know what point on the graph represents what then it should be easy
In most cases.. finding slope is where the line meets on the x axis
Answer:
x = 117°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle inside the triangle and 101° are adjacent and supplementary, thus
angle inside triangle = 180° - 101° = 79°
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
x is an exterior angle of the triangle , thus
x = 38° + 79° = 117°
Answer:
The answer is "Option b"
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbering of the choices was defined in the attached file please find it.
In the question except for option b, all choices were correct, that can be defined as follows:
- Citizens also believe because they save by buying products at a price, even if the product wasn't required first.
- It's cheaper to take and tough to maintain track of funds without a way to invest (like a bank account).
- Billions of lives were expended on ads and convince consumers to invest money in the junior high rather than saving their union so Hust started his career.
50 grams is about the weight of a watch. 50 kilograms is about the weight of a 5'2 person (like me!). So, 1 kilogram is about 1 pound.
The better estimate is 5o grams.
