what if i have 6 1/2 ft of lumber and i only need 3/5 how much is itZ?
one person earns 51,1000 per year. another earns 2,150 per month.How much does the first person earn in a year than the second?
6 1/2 = 13/2
3/5 * 13/2 = 39/10 = 3.9 ft
To find out how much lumber is needed if you have 6 1/2 ft and only need 3/5, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert 6 1/2 ft to a fraction. This can be done by multiplying the whole number (6) by the denominator of the fraction (2) and then adding the numerator (1). So, 6 1/2 ft can be written as 13/2.
Step 2: Multiply the fraction 13/2 by the fraction 3/5 to find out how much lumber you actually need. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. So, (13/2) * (3/5) becomes (13 * 3) / (2 * 5).
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction. In this case, multiplying the numbers gives you 39/10.
Step 4: Convert the resulting fraction back into a mixed number, if preferred, by dividing the numerator (39) by the denominator (10). This gives you a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 9. So, 39/10 can be represented as the mixed number 3 9/10.
Therefore, if you have 6 1/2 ft of lumber and only need 3/5, you will actually need 3 9/10 ft of lumber.
