Nadia 4/9 h to complete her Language Arts homework and 2/9 h to complete her mathematics homework. Which takes longer? How much longer?
I just need to know am I right or wrong?
I calculated Wednesday to have 3 inches of snow. Which is 2 inches more than Sunday.
Thank you.
(4/9) * 60 = 240/9 = 26.67 minutes
(2/9) * 60 = 120/9 = 13.33 minutes
You're welcome.
Ok so I had it completely wrong. UGGG So I take the numerator times it to an hour (60 min_ then divided to get the mintutes. Ok got it ! Thank you for explaining to me. I am thankful. :))))))))
I got this wrong? I was suppose to keep it in fractions. And I came up with it took Languarge Arts longer ? Do I just turn the 26.67 and 13.33 into a fraction? then subtract the two minutes? Please help.
To determine which homework assignment takes longer, we need to compare the time it takes Nadia to complete her Language Arts homework with the time it takes her to complete her mathematics homework.
Nadia takes 4/9 of an hour to complete her Language Arts homework and 2/9 of an hour to complete her mathematics homework.
To compare the two, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 9.
To find out which assignment takes longer, we can simply compare the two fractions.
4/9 is greater than 2/9, which means Nadia takes longer to complete her Language Arts homework.
To determine how much longer, we subtract the time it takes to complete mathematics homework (2/9) from the time it takes to complete Language Arts homework (4/9).
4/9 - 2/9 = 2/9
So, Nadia takes 2/9 of an hour longer to complete her Language Arts homework compared to her mathematics homework.
Regarding your second statement about snowfall, it seems that you have calculated that Wednesday had 3 inches of snow, which is 2 inches more than Sunday. This means that Sunday had 1 inch of snow.
