Question: 5/12 − 2/5= 1/60​


A. The answer 1/60 is not reasonable because ​5/12​ is closer to 1 than to ​1/2​, and ​2/5​ is closer to 0 than to ​1/2​, making the difference close to 1/2. ​

B. The answer​ 1/60 ​is not reasonable because ​5/12​ is closer to ​1/2​ than to 1, and ​2/5​ is closer to 0 than to ​1/2, making the difference close to​ ​1/2​. ​

C. The answer 1/60 is reasonable because both fractions are closer to 1/2 than they are to 0, making the difference close to 0.

D. The answer 1/60 is reasonable because both fractions are closer to 1 than they are to 1/2, making the difference close to 0.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is reasonable: the answer is both reasonable and correct because 5/12 - 2/5 = 1/60. This is because using cross multiply, 5 x 5/12 = 25/60, 12 x 2/5 = 24/60. 25/60 - 24/60 = 1/60.

Both are closer to half: half out of 12 would be 6/12 and 0 would be 0/12, so 5/12 is closer to half because 5/12 is closer to 6/12 than 0/12. Half out of 5 would be 2.5/5 and 0 would be 0/5, so 2/5 is closer to half because 2/5 is closer to 2.5/5 than 0/5.

The difference is close to 0: 1/60 is very close to 0. It's only worth 0.016.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1) butter = 9/10

sugar = 1/5 =2/10

butter - sugar = 9/10 - 2/10 = 7/10 =0.7 = 70%

2)

Jan = 1/2

Feb = 5/12

total = 1/2 + 5/12 = 6/12 + 5/12 = 11/12

3)

queen's ring = 1/2 = 2/4

princess's ring = 1/4

queen's ring - princess's ring = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4

4)same with 3)

5)

mon = 5/12

tues = 1/2 = 6/12

total = 5/12 + 6/12 = 11/12

Jimmy’s family moved to a tropical climate. For the year that followed, he recorded the number of days that had a temperature above 40 degrees C each month. His data contained -
14, 14, 10, 12, 11, 13, 11, 11, 14, 10, 13 and 8

Answers

Number 6 is 4cx- hope I helped

Answer:

4) 11.75   6) 23   10) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

4) To find the mean, you would find the average of all the data. To do that, you add all the numbers together, then divide them by the number of numbers there are. So: (14+14+10+12+11+13+11+11+14+10+13+8)/12=141/12=11.75

6) To find the median, you would find the number in between all the numbers. So: 16,20,22,22,22,24,26,26,28,28,28. The median of all of this would be between 22 and 24, so it would be 23.

10) Since one week has 7 days, and the cat drank 2 cups per day, you can multiply 7 and 2 to get 14, and that would be your answer.

Let n represent the number of students who played last year. Which equation expresses an equality between two different ways of expressing the number of students who are playing soccer this year?

A: n + 6 = 78
B: 3n + 6 = 78
C: n - 6 = 78
D: 3n - 6 = 78

Answers

The answer is B. This is because we know this is 6 more than 3 times the number of students that played last year. A and C makes no sense. D does not make any sense because it is 6 more not 6 less.
b is the answer bc you are adding the 6 and multiplying the 3 with the variable
