Jimmy is trying to dive down and touch the bottom of the pool. on his first try, he makes it 1/3 of the way to the bottom.

on his second try, he makes it 3/5 of the way to the bottom.


jimmy's second dive was deeper than his first dive by what fraction of the pool?

4 feet or 4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So first you have to multiply the top and bottom number of each fraction by the denominator of the opposite fraction to have the same denominator:

1/3 X 5/5 = 5/15

3/5 X 3/3 = 9/15

2. Then you compare the two fractions and subtract the smaller fraction from the bigger:

9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15

So Jimmy dived 4 feet deeper the second time

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
