Amanda has a piece of ribbon that is 1/4 had long. She wants to share the ribbon with 2 friends so that they can each wear a ribbon for breast cancer awareness month. If each of the 3 friends gets the same amount, how much ribbon will each person get?

Explanation:

Draw a rectangle. Then draw three vertical lines inside to split the rectangle into 4 equal pieces. Shade one of the pieces to represent 1/4.

Now draw 2 horizontal lines to split that 1/4 piece into three equal smaller pieces. You should end up with a 3 by 4 grid of small squares.  There are 3*4 = 12 small squares total.

Each person gets 1/12 of a unit of ribbon, when we started off with 1/4 of a unit of ribbon. Notice how 3*(1/12) = 3/12 = 1/4.

Refer to the diagram below.

SI=(P*R*T)/100

P=2000

R=1.5

T=6

SI=(2000*1.5*6)/100

=(2000*9)/100

=180

Neil will earn interest of 180

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

The solution is in the following image

The answer is in the image 

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg

Approximately it is aqual to 1300kg

The answer is in the image 

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.

tip=18% of 75.45

     =18/100 * 75.45 = $13.581

Tip = $13.581
