Is 7/8 or 11/10 closer to 1? How did you decide anybody help please?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Let

A-----> (7)/(8)

B-----> (11)/(10)

C-----> 1

we know that

Point A-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 10

(7*10)/(8*10) =(70)/(80)

Point B-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 8

(11*8)/(10*8) =(88)/(80)

Point C-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 80

(1*80)/(1*80) =(80)/(80)

Find the distance Point A to Point C

(80)/(80) -(70)/(80) =(10)/(80)

Find the distance Point B to Point C

(88)/(80) -(80)/(80) =(8)/(80)

therefore

(8)/(80) < (10)/(80)

Point B is closer to Point C

(11)/(10) is closer to 1

the answer is

(11)/(10) is closer to 1

Answer 2
Answer: You can also figure it out by knowing that 7/8 is 1/8 away from 1 and 11/10 is 1/10 away from 1. since 1/10 is smaller than 1/8, you know that 11/10 is closer to 1 than 7/8.

Since these questions all require similar methods of solving, I will only completely work out the first question of each type.

2. To find (7)/(10)as a decimal, all we need to do is complete the fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

(7)/(10) = 7 / 10 = 0.7

(7)/(10) as a decimal is 0.7.

3. To write a fraction as a percentage, we must first convert it into a decimal, the way we did in problem 2.

(13)/(20) =0.65

Then to change that number into a percentage, we can either multiply it by 100, or (my personal shortcut) just shift the decimal point over two places to the right.

0.65 = 65%

which is the answer to question 3.
(13)/(20) written as a percent is 65%.

4. Writing a percentage as a fraction is a bit easier than writing a fraction as a percentage. All you need to do is place the percentage in the numerator's place of a fraction with 100 as the denominator and simplify.

2%5 = (25)/(100)

Since 25 goes into 100 four times, we can simplify this fraction.

(25)/(100) = (1)/(4)

which is our answer.

25% written as a fraction is (1)/(4).

5. This is the same as problem 3, so I won't show my work for the sake of time.

(2)/(5) as a percentage is 40%.

6. This is the same as problem 1, so I will not show steps again.

(3)/(20) as a decimal is 0.15.

7. Done similar problems in past. No work shown.

(21)/(50) as a percent is 42%.

8. Same as last problem.

(1)/(25) as a percent is 4%.

9. Same as number 4.

10. Similar in past.

13. Just did one like this.

14. Same as 4 and 9.

15. Plenty of these done in past.

2. 7/10 as a decimal.

The easiest way to find the decimal form of a fraction is to make it out of 10 or 100. Since this one's already out of 10, we read it as "seven tenths."

Seven tenths as a decimal is 0.7, because the 7 is in the tenths spot.

7/10 as a decimal is 0.7

3. 13/20 as a percent

Percent means "one part in every hundered", so let's convert this fraction into something out of 100.
To do that, we need to multiply it by whatever number will turn the denominator into 100.

20 x 5 = 100
13 x 5 = 65

13/20 is equal to 65/100

Now, we take the numerator, and write it as a percent.

65/100 is 65%

Therefore 13/20 as a percent is 65%

4. 25% as a fraction.

We can do this one the opposite of #3.

25% is 25/100

And then we can just simplify. 5 goes into both 25 and 100, so let's use that first.

25 ÷ 5 = 5
100 ÷ 5 = 20

25/100 = 5/20

But we can simplify it further, if we want, because 5 goes into 5 and 20

5 ÷ 5 = 1
20 ÷ 5 = 4

25/100 = 5/20 = 1/4

So 25% as a fraction can be written as 25/100, or 5/20, or 1/4.

Now, #5-16 can all be done the same way as #2, 3, or 4, so I'll write out the math, but not the lengthy explanation for the rest.

#17 and 18 require a bit more math, because they're lovely word problems.

17. Ashlee has finished 7/25 of her homework. What percent of the homework does Ashlee still need to finish?

First, let's turn 7/25 into a percentage.

25 x 4 = 100
7 x 4 = 28
28/100
28%

Now, we subtract 28% from 100% to find out how much she's got left

100 - 28 = 72

Ashlee has 72% of her homework left to finish.

18. Luz catches 83% of the balls in the outfield. What fraction of the balls does he not catch?

Let's turn 83% into a simple fraction, and work from there.

83%
83/100

We can simplify the answer later, but for now, to find the fraction he doesn't catch, we subtract the fraction from the whole.

100/100 - 83/100 = 17/100

17 is a prime number, so we can't reduce it down at all.

Luz doesn't catch 17/100 of the balls.

each student in ms sikes's kindergarten class has a box of crayons. each box has 36 crayons.if there are 18 students in ms sikes class how many crayons are there in all

Answers

Answer: 648 crayons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Each student in ms sikes's kindergarten class has a box of crayons. Each box has 36 crayons.

If there are 18 students in Ms sikes class, then by using Multiplication operation the total number of crayons there are =18*36

i.e. the total number of crayons there are =648

Hence, there are 648 crayons in all.

The answer is 648.

You have to multiply 36 by 18 to get 648

36×18 = 648

Halle has two ribbons. The blue ribbon is 58 cm. The green ribbon is 38 cm longer than the blue ribbon.How long is the green ribbon?

Halle uses 67 cm of the green ribbon to wrap a present.
How much green ribbon is left?

Answers

The green ribbon is 96 cm long and if 67 cm of the green ribbon is used to wrap a present, the amount left is 29 cm

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between numbers or variables.

Let x represent the length of the green ribbon.

The green ribbon is 38 cm longer than the blue ribbon, hence:

x = 58 cm + 38 cm

x = 96 cm

The green ribbon is 96 cm long.

If 67 cm of the green ribbon to wrap a present, the amount left is:

Amount left = 96 cm - 67 cm = 29 cm

Answer:

a) green ribbon is 96cm long

b) 29cm is left

Step-by-step explanation:

a) length of green ribbon = 58cm + 38cm = 96cm

b) length of green ribbon left = 96cm - 67cm = 29cm
