11/12 hours left. 1 2/3 - 3/4 = 11/12. First, find the common denominator (12) . The problem is now 1 8/12 - 9/12. Use the 1 in (1 8/12) to borrow. Multiply the denominator by 1 (12) and add that to the numerator. The question is now 20/12 - 9/12. I assume that you can finish it off from there.
Answer:
There are no enough information to determine the length of the fence, assuming we were given the perimeter of the fence, and say, the dimension of the fence, then we can easily find the length.
Perimeter of the fence, P = 2(L + B).. If the fence is a rectangular.
L = (P/2) - B
If the fence is square, P = 4L
L = P/4
The ratio of yellow balloons to blue balloons is 8:12
Then there are 100 balloons. Making the equation, we are able to have:
8X + 12X = 1000
20x = 1000
X = 50.
Yellow balloons = 8x = 8 * 50 = 400 yellow balloons
Blue balloons = 12X = 12 * 50 = 600 blue balloons
So there are 400 yellows balloons.
