Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is: 2 2/9 gal ; or, write as: 2.222 gal
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
(5/6) * (2 ⅔ ) = x ; Solve for "x"; which is our answer (in "gallons", or "gal").

_________________________________________________
→ Write "2 ⅔ " as an improper fraction;

→ 2 ⅔ = [(3*2) + 2 ] / 3 = (6+2) / 3 = 8/3 ;
________________________________________
→ Rewrite the problem, substituting "8/3" for "2 ⅔" ;
_______________________________________________
→ $(5)/(6)$ * $(8)/(3)$ ;

→ The "6" and the "8" can be reduced; since both the "6" and the "8" can be divided by "2"; → So change the "6" to a "3" ; (since "6÷2 = 3");
→ and change the "8" to a "4"; (since "8÷2 = 4") ;
_______________________________________________
→ and rewrite the equation as:
_____________________________________
→ $(5)/(3)$ * $(4)/(3)$ ;
______________________________________________
→ $(5)/(3)$ * $(4)/(3)$ =

$((5*4))/((3*3))$ =
___________________________________________
→ $(20)/(9)$ gallons =

→ 20 ÷ 9 =
_________________________________________

→ 2 2/9 gal ; or, write as: 2.222 gal
_______________________________________________

Why do you start with the greater number when adding on a number line

Answers

I think i am incorrect about this; but here it goes anyways..

On a number line, there is negatives and positives. As such, if there's only negatives, you must start with the lower negative due that it is much more huger than the bottom negatives.

Now then, if there's positive and negatives on there, go for the positive. The negatives are lower than positives, and it'll always stay like that.

But! If it doesn't make any sense, take a look at this.

5-, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

See the pattern? -5 is the lowest one out of all them, due that the negatives that are currently raising, it is going into the positives. So you must add the greater number first.

30 girls who tried out for the lacrosse team Euclid middle school 12 were selected of the 40 boys Who tried out 16 were selected are the ratios of the number of students on the team to the number of students trying out the same for both boys and girls

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the ratio of the number of students on the team to the number of students trying out is same for both girls and boys.

The ratio is: 2:5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Out of 30 girls who tried out for the lacrosse team Euclid middle school 12 were selected.

This means that the ratio of the number of girls on the team to the number of girls trying out is:

12/30=2/5

Also, 40 boys Who tried out 16 were selected .

This means that the ratio of the number of boys on the team to the number of boys trying out is:

16/40=2/5

Hence, we get that the ratio is same for boys and girls i.e. 2:5

12/30=2/5
16/40=2/5
The ratio is the same because they both simplify to 2/5
