Answer:
1. .018 or 18 thousandths
2. $8,370
3. The Exact form is 17/6 but the Mixed number is 2 5/6
4. Gemma is 31/8 miles or 3 7/8 miles from the end of the trail.
Explanation:
1. The quotient is the answer to a division problem. You divide the dividend (which is on the top) by the divisor (which is on the bottom)
2. You need to know the total value of pins for one hour
So with that, you multiply the amount of pins produced per hour and the total value of pins within a certain hour frame which is one hour
1,000×1=1,000
Then you multiply for the value of each pin
1,000×$8.37=$8,370
3. 8 1/2 - 5 2/3 =
= 17/2 − 17/3
= ((17 × 3) − (17 × 2)) / (2 × 3)
= (51 - 34) / 6
= 17/6
= 2 5/6
4. In the question it is given that the length of the blue lake trail is 11 3/8 miles. In the question it is also given that Gemma has hiked for a total time of 3 hours and each hour she has hiked 2 1/2 miles.
Now coming to solving the problem we get:
Total length of blue lake trail = 11 3/8 miles
= 91/8 miles
Distance hiked by Gemma in 1 hour = 2 1/2 miles
= 5/2 miles
Then the total distance hiked by Gemma in 3 hours = (5/2) * 3
= 15/2 miles
The distance left to cover the full trail = (91/8) - (15/2) miles
= (91 - 60)/8 miles
= 31/8 miles
= 3 7/8 miles.
So Gemma is 31/8 miles or 3 7/8 miles from the end of the trail
Hope this helps! Good luck on the test!
