Answer:
80 cm / 180 cm / 120 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
the smallest common multiple of 3, 4 and 2 is 12.
so, to be able to truly compare these fractions we need to bring all denominators to .../12.
1/3 = 4/12
3/4 = 9/12
1/2 = 6/12
in total we have therefore 19 (4+9+6) equally large parts of the ribbon that are then combined :
4 parts for the first segment.
9 parts for the second segment
6 parts for the third segment.
so, one part is
380 cm / 19 = 20 cm
therefore the first segment of the ribbon is
4×20 = 80 cm long
the second segment
9×20 = 180 cm long
the third segment
6×20 = 120 cm long
Answer:
Green and Blue ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
They collect
Red Ribbon = ½ mile
Green Ribbon = ⅛ mile
Blue Ribbon = ¼ mile
To find?
Which colors of ribbons will be collected at the ¾ mile mark.
The interpretation of the question is to test which of the above fractions can divide ¾ without a remainder; in other words, multiples of ¾.
Testing each fraction.
Red Ribbon = ½
¾ ÷ ½
= ¾ * 2
= 3/2
= 1.5 or 1 Remainder 1
This is not an exact multiple of ¾. So, the red ribbon won't be passed here.
Green Ribbon = ⅛
¾ ÷ ⅛
= ¾ * 8
= 24/8
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the green ribbon will be collected.
Testing the last ribbon
Blue = ¼
¾ ÷ ¼
= ¾ * 4
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the blue ribbon will be collected.
Hence, the green and blue ribbons will be collected at ¾ mile mark
Answer:
x = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4 = 9x + 3
3x + 1 = 9x
1 = 6x
1/6 = x
-0.05 is larger. Since they're negative, you're going by which is closer to 0 rather than farther. -0.05 is closer to 0 on a number line, so it's larger than -0.25.
Answer:
$(80.5x + 69)
Step-by-step Explanation:
Recall, distributive property of multiplication can simply be expressed as follows, x(y + z) = xy + xz or x(y - z). Where x, y, and z could be any number.
Now, let's use the distributive property to show the total costs of plants Gloria decides to buy as an expression and also simplify it.
Thus, Gloria buys:
4 ferns = 4(0.5x - 3) = 4(0.5x) - 4(3) = $(2x - 12)
2 palms = 2(10x - 2.50) = 2(10x) - 2(2.50) = $(20x - 5.00)
10 lilies = 10(5 + 0.25x) = 10(5) + 10(0.25x) = $(50 + 2.5x)
8 shrubs = 8(4.50 + 7x) = 8(4.50) + 8(7x) = $(36 + 56x)
Total cost of the plants = (2x - 12) + (20x - 5) + (50 + 2.5x) + (36+ 56x)
Open the parentheses and then simplify:
Total cost = 2x - 12 + 20x - 5 + 50 + 2.5x + 36 + 56x
= 2x + 20x + 2.5x + 56x - 12 - 5 + 50 + 36
Total cost = $(80.5x + 69)
