Taylor has 4 1/3 inches of ribbon. If she was to cut some off to have 1 3/4 inches left, how much would she need to cut off?

2 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/3 - 1 3/4

you need a common denominator for 3 and 4 and the lowest would be 12

1/3 = 4/12

3/4 = 9/12

4 4/12 - 1 9/12

we can change 4 4/12 to be 3 16/12 by borrowing 12/12 or 1 from 4

3 16/12 - 1 9/12 = 2 7/12

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
