Kiara has a ribbon that measures 1/4 of an inch and Jillian has a ribbon that measures 2/3 of an inch. Jillian says their ribbons are equal in length because her numerator is one more than kiara's and her denominator is one less, therefore balancing the two fractions. Is she correct? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Jillian is Incorrect as fraction can never be balanced based on numerator or denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Measure of ribbon Kiara has = (1)/(4) \ inch

Measure of ribbon Jillian has = (2)/(3) \ inch

Now given:

Jillian says their ribbons are equal in length because her numerator is one more than kiara's and her denominator is one less, therefore balancing the two fractions.

we need to find whether statement is correct or not.

First we will find the decimal value of the given fraction's

(1)/(4) \ inch can rewritten as 0.25\ inch

Measure of ribbon Kiara has = 0.25 inch

(2)/(3) \ inch can be Rewritten as 0.67\ inch

Measure of  ribbon Jillian has = 0.67 inch

Now we can see that;

0.67 inch is greater than 0.25 inch.

Hence we can say that ribbons are not in equal length.

Also the fraction can never be balanced by decreasing or increasing the numerator or denominator.

Out of 100 students,15 passed in english, 12 passed in mathematics, 8 in science, 6 in english and mathematics, 7 in mathematics and science, 4 in english and science, 4 in all three. find how many passed1)in english and mathematics but not science
2)in mathmatics and sciecnce but not in english
3)in mathematics only
more than one subject only

Answers

Because there are 4 students who passed in all subjects, we can say that only 2 students passed in English and Mathematics only, only 3 students passed in Mathematics and Science only, and no one passed in English and Science only.

Given that we have deduced the number of students who passed in two subjects, we can now solve for the number of students who passed only one subject. 
                English = 15 - (4 + 2 + 0) = 9
                Mathematics = 12 - (4 + 3 + 2) = 3
                Science = 8 - (4 + 3 + 0) = 1

1. In English but not in Science,
                    9 + 2 = 11
2. In Mathematics and Science but not in English
                    3 + 3 + 1 = 7
3. In Mathematics only 
                             = 3
3. More than one subject only
                   3 + 4 + 2 + 9 = 18
