Answer:
39. An adult male Western Banded Gecko is 5 1/2 (or 5.5) inches long.
41. 13,000 feet long, because 1 4/9 of 9,000 is 13,000.
43. to answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
35/50 >= 3/4
7/10 >= 3/4
now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 >= 3/4
(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
35/50 >= 3/4
does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
40. 10 students play chess and sudoku,
30*2/5 is 12, out of 12; the number of students that play chess,5/6 play sudoku.
So..12*5/6 is 10 and that is the number of students that play both sudoku and chess.
42. Four fifths of 7/8 will be less than 7/8 (because you've multiplied by a number less than 1).
Similarly, 7/8 of 4/5 will be less than 4/5.
This means that the product will be less than each of the original factors.
answer: no
44. The answer is 7/12 because 3/4 - 1/6= 7/12
3/4 converts to 9/12 and 1/6 converts to 2/12. The domanaters stay the same, but 9-2=7. that is how you get 7/12
