We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes
Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
400.00 in scientific notation would be 4×<span>10^2</span>
Answer:
It would decrease, but not necessarily by 8%
<u>Corrected Question</u>
Garth buys 24 kilograms of candy. He then repacks the candy into small bags of 3/4 kilogram each. How many bags does he pack?
Answer:
C. 32 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Weight of Bag bought =24 kilograms
Since Garth wants to repack the candy into small bags of 3/4 kg, we simply divide 24 by 3/4 to obtain the number of small bags.
There will be 32 small bags of 3/4 kg.
The correct option is C.
