explain how to use the missing pieces strategy to compare two fractions. include a diagram with your explanation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: To tell which fraction is larger, we need to understand which one is "missing" less.
For example, we have 3/4 and 7/8.
3/4 misses 1/4.
7/8 misses 1/8.
According to the rule, we choose 7/8 as a larger one because it "misses" less then 3/4. (1/8 < 1/4)

Becky wants to fence in a rectangular play area for her dog. If she was 82 feet of fencing and wants the length of the play area to be 9 feet longer than its width then what should the dimensions of the play area be?

Answers

ok
fencing=perimiter
perimiter=L+L+W+W=2L+2W=2(L+W)
82=2(L+W)
divid eboth sides by 2 for ease of use
41=L+W

if she wants legnth to be 9 more than width, then
L=9+W
subsitute 9+W for L
41=9+W+W
41=9+2W
subtract 9
32=2W
divide 2
16=W

subsitute
L=9+W
L=9+16
L=25

the pen should be 25 feet by 16 feet

length= width+9 ----- Now we can substitute length with width!
Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)
Perimeter = 82
82= 2(w+9) + 2w
41 = w+ 9 + w
41-9 = 2w
32 = 2w
16= w (now plug w into the equation for length)
length = 16 + 9 = 25

SOO... Dimensions = 16 x 25

Solve the equations using the substitution method:
4x -2y =22
2x + 4y = 6

Answers

we have that
4x -2y =22------> clear variable y
2y=4x-22--------> y=4x/2-22/2---------> y=2x-11-----> equation 1
2x + 4y = 6------> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
2x+4*[2x-11]=6-----> 2x+8x-44=6----> 10x=50------> x=5
then
y=2x-11----> y=2*5-11----> y=-1
