Question

OMG PLS HELP WITH THIS IM PANICKING OMG I GOT A F IN MATH MY MOM JUST YELLED AT ME IM CRYING PLS HELP WITH THS- PLSS TELL ME I ALREADY DID NUMBER 2 BTW SO NO NEED JUST PLS HELP IN THE BOTTOM :(

Answer 1

3. The equivalent fractions are presented as follows;

`(2)/(3) = (2 * 2)/(3 * 2) =(4)/(6)`

4. The equivalent fractions are presented as follows;

`(2)/(3) = (4 * 2)/(4 * 3) =(8)/(12)`

5. The reason why it works is because
`(1)/(8) + (1)/(8) = (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

3. Based on the shaded region of the given figures, the two fractions are equivalent

Mathematically, we can show the equivalency of the two fractions as follows;

`(2)/(3) =(2)/(3) * 1 = (2)/(3) * (2)/(2) = (2 * 2)/(3 * 2) =(4)/(6)`

Therefore;

`(2)/(3) = (2 * 2)/(3 * 2) =(4)/(6)`

4. From the shaded region of the given figure, the fractions are equivalent

Mathematically, we have;

`(2)/(3) =(2)/(3) * 1 = (4)/(4) * (2)/(3) = (4 * 2)/(4 * 3) =(8)/(12)`

Therefore;

`(2)/(3) = (4 * 2)/(4 * 3) =(8)/(12)`

5. The amount of salt required by the recipe = 1/4 teaspoon of salt

The measure of the spoon Jonas has = 1/8 teaspoon

When Jonas adds two 1/8 teaspoons, he gets;

`(1)/(8) + (1)/(8) = (1 + 1)/(8) = (2)/(8) = (2 * 1)/(2 * 4) = (2)/(2) * (1)/(4) = 1 * (1)/(4) = (1)/(4)`

Therefore;

`(1)/(8) + (1)/(8) = (1)/(4)`

Two 1/8 measuring teaspoons are equivalent to one 1/4 teaspoons and therefore Jonas is able to get the 1/4 teaspoons of salt the recipe asks for b combining two 1/8 measuring teaspoons of salt he has because 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4.
