Jen has one rope that is 13 1/8 feet long and another that is 21 3/4 feet long. Kelsey has a rope that is 35 1/2 feet long. Which of the following shows who has more rope and how much more? (stop wasting my points plss ;( )
To determine who has more rope and how much more, we need to compare the lengths of the ropes.
Jen's first rope is 13 1/8 feet long:
13 1/8 = 13.125 feet
Jen's second rope is 21 3/4 feet long:
21 3/4 = 21.75 feet
Kelsey's rope is 35 1/2 feet long:
35 1/2 = 35.5 feet
To find out who has more rope, we can compare the lengths:
- Jen's first rope: 13.125 feet
- Jen's second rope: 21.75 feet
- Kelsey's rope: 35.5 feet
Since 35.5 is the biggest number, Kelsey has the most rope. To determine how much more rope Kelsey has compared to Jen's first rope, we subtract the lengths:
35.5 - 13.125 = 22.375
Thus, Kelsey has 22.375 feet more rope than Jen's first rope.
make it sound like im a 10 year old
Jen has one rope that is 13 and one-eighth feet long, and another that is 21 and three-fourths feet long. Kelsey has a rope that is 35 and a half feet long. Now let's see who has more rope and how much more!
First, let's look at Jen's ropes. The first rope is 13 and one-eighth feet long. It's a little bit longer than 13 feet. The second rope is 21 and three-fourths feet long. That's like saying it's almost 22 feet!
Now, we have Kelsey's rope. It's the longest one, and it's 35 and a half feet long. That's like having a rope that reaches really far!
To figure out who has more rope, we compare the lengths. Kelsey's rope is the longest because it's 35 and a half feet. Now, let's see how much more rope Kelsey has compared to Jen's first rope.
We can subtract the length of Jen's first rope from Kelsey's rope: 35 and a half minus 13 and one-eighth. Wow! That's a lot of math, but let's try doing it!
After subtracting, we find out that Kelsey has 22 and three-eighths feet more rope than Jen's first rope. That's a big difference!
So, Kelsey has the most rope, and she has 22 and three-eighths feet more rope than Jen's first rope.
and make it smaller
Sure! Let's make it simpler for a 10-year-old:
Jen has a rope that is 13 and 1/8 feet long, and another that is 21 and 3/4 feet long. Kelsey has a rope that is 35 and 1/2 feet long. Who has more rope and how much more?
Jen's first rope is a little longer than 13 feet, and her second rope is nearly 22 feet long. Kelsey's rope is the longest, and it's about 35 and a half feet long.
To find out who has more, we compare the lengths. Kelsey's rope is the winner because it's the longest at 35 and a half feet.
Now, to figure out how much more Kelsey has than Jen's first rope, we subtract 13 and 1/8 from 35 and a half. After doing the math, we find that Kelsey has 22 and 3/8 feet more rope than Jen's first rope.
So, Kelsey has the most rope, and she has 22 and 3/8 feet more than Jen's first rope.
Libby was asked to simplify 1215 . She stated that 1215 cannot be simplified, it is in the lowest terms already. Is Libby correct? Be sure to explain why or why not. (2 points)
No, Libby is not correct. Simplifying usually refers to reducing a fraction to its lowest terms. However, 1215 is not a fraction but a whole number.
To simplify a fraction, we factorize both the numerator and denominator and cancel out any common factors. But since 1215 is already a whole number, it cannot be further simplified. Therefore, Libby's explanation does not apply in this case.
makee it like a 10 year old
No, Libby is not correct. Simplifying usually means making something simpler or smaller. But 1215 is already a whole number, so we can't make it any simpler.
To simplify fractions, we can make the numerator and denominator smaller by taking out common factors. But since 1215 is not a fraction, we can't simplify it in that way.
So, Libby's answer doesn't work here because 1215 is already a simple whole number and cannot be simplified any further.
