Arturo has a log that is 4 yards long. he cuts the log into pieces that are 1/3 yard long . how many pieces will Arturo have?

1 answer:

8 0

Arturo will have 12 pieces. For this problem, you need to multiply by the reciprocal. To do that, you flip 1/3 over to 3/1 and multiply that by 4. 3/1 times 4 equals 12. Remember that 4 as a fraction is 4 over 1. So you would multiply 4 by the numerator (3) because 4 is the numerator in 4/1.

$\frac{6+3p}{2} - \frac{3}{4} (8 - 10p) \\ \\ \frac{6 + 3p}{2} - \frac{3(8-10p)}{4} \\ \\ \frac{6+3p}{2} - \frac{3 \times 2(4 - 5p)}{4} \\ \\ \frac{6+3p}{2} - \frac{6(4-5p)}{4} \\ \\ \frac{6+3p}{2} - \frac{3(4-5p)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{6+3p - 3(4-5p)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3(2 +p - 4 + 5p}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3(2 + (p + 5p) - 4)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3(2+6p-4)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3 \times 2 (1 + 3p-2)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{3 \times 2(3p - 1)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{6(3p -1 }{2} \\ \\ 3(3p - 1) \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {3(3p-1)}$

How to round 47,125 to the nearest ten,to the nearest hundred, to the nearest thousand and to the nearest ten thousand

Tasya [4]

To be able to round the number 47,125 to the nearest tenth, hundredth, and thousandth place you need to know were those places are. The tens place is the second one from the right hand side. The hundreds place is the third one from the right hand side and the thousands place is the one right after the comma. Now, to round to the tens place, you need to look at the place right behind it (which would be the ones place) then you need to analyze. If the number in the ones place is between 0-4 you can NOT round the tens place but, if it is between 5-9 you can. The same rule applies when you round to the hundreds and thousands place. So the number you should end up with is - 47,135.
