Well if each band needs 15.5 inches and she needs to make 12 headbands she needs 15.5 inches 12 times. Now you can add 15.5 + 15.5 +15.5 (so on) 12 times or you can do it the easier way and do 15.5 times 12. this comes out to 186 inches of ribbon. She estimated 160 inches of ribbon, this is unreasonable because it is significantly less that 186.
Answer:
d=1/2
b=1/25
b(row 2)=1/5
e=7/100
explanation: think about them as numbers out of 100 then simplify :)
First, convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, find the product of the whole number and the denominator and then add the numerator.
Then the denominator will be the original denominator from the mixed number.
=
Now the fraction
is being raised to the third power negative.
When an exponent is negative, it means to take the reciprocal of the number then raise it to the power of the absolute value of the exponent.
In a mathematical expression:
So, first take the reciprocal of
which is 3.
Then raise 3 to the absolute value of the exponent. The exponent is -3.
The absolute value of -3 is 3.
3^3 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27
So, the answer is 27.
Elaine's, line up your decimal and add zeros.
