Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -
5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
Answer:
distance across the pond: 13 yd
distance walked by Garret: 12 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
- distance across the pond: x yd
- distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
- distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd
A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 5² + (x-1)²
x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1
0 = 26 - 2x
x = 13
So multiply 128 by 15 to get 1920 and then move the decimal over two places to get 19.20 and then subtract that $19.20 from $128 to get $108.8
