9/10x5/6x8/9 =?
would that be 6/8 ?
also the temperature ranged from -37 F to 103 F How many degrees was the temperature for the year?
would you just take the difference between the two?
Online use "*" to indicate, because often "x" is used to indicate an unknown.
9/10*5/6*8/9 = (9*5*8)/(10*6*9) = 360/540 = 6/9
Range = highest value - lowest value.
To solve the expression 9/10 x 5/6 x 8/9, you need to multiply the numerators (numbers on top) together and multiply the denominators (numbers on the bottom) together.
Here's how you do it:
- Multiply the numerators: 9 x 5 x 8 = 360
- Multiply the denominators: 10 x 6 x 9 = 540
So, 9/10 x 5/6 x 8/9 simplifies to 360/540. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 360 and 540 is 180.
By dividing both 360 and 540 by 180, you get:
360 ÷ 180 = 2
540 ÷ 180 = 3
Therefore, 360/540 simplifies to 2/3. So, the answer to the expression is 2/3, not 6/8.
Regarding the temperature question, if the range of the temperature throughout the year is from -37°F to 103°F, you are correct in taking the difference between the two to find the range.
To find the temperature for the year, you subtract the lowest temperature (-37°F) from the highest temperature (103°F):
103°F - (-37°F) = 140°F
So, the temperature for the year would be 140°F.
