Tricia had 4 1/8 yards of fabric to make curtains. When she finished she had 2 3/8 yards of fabric left. She said she used 2 2/8 yards of fabric for the curtains. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Well for this you have to do 4 1/8 - 2 3/8. You cannot subtract 1 - 3, so you have to take away 1 from three and add 8 to 1 so now the equation is 3 9/8 - 2 3/8. This is equal to 1 6/8 or 1 3/4, so no, she did not use 2 2/8 yards of fabric.

Answer 2

Answer: No because if you add up the fabric she 'used' and the fabric she made to make the curtains it doesn't match up with the original yards of fabric she had to make the curtains.

2 3/8+ 2 2/8= 4 5/8

4 5/8 is the supposedly original fabric she had. It's only 1/2 off from the original fabric of yards.

So no I don't agree.

The point (x, -3) is a solution to the equation shown. What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4y + 5x = 17 and (x - 3) is a solution

Substitute y = - 3 into the equation and solve for x

- 4(- 3) + 5x = 17

12 + 5x = 17 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 1

Solution is (1, - 3 )

Explain it - compare 3 3/22 & 3 2/33. which is greaterI Know:
Multiply the denominator by the whole number then add numerator to that.
Now I have 69/66 & 101/99

THe LCM is 66

what next, which is greater. Thank you

Answers

3 3/22 isn't 69/66.
3 3/22 is like 3+3/22. To sum them,you have to have the same denominator. So 3=66/22. Know you can add them, so 3 3/22=3+ 3/22= 66/22+3/22=69/22.
Same way, 3 2/33= 3+2/33=99/33+2/33=101/33.
Know you have to compare 69/22 with 101/33. For this, you need to get them to the same denominator. So you multiply 69/22 with 3, and 101/33 with 2. Know you have to compare 207/66 with 202/66. Obviously, the first one is bigger, because 207>202. So in the end, 3 3/22> 3 2/33
