Thank you for checking on this Ms.Sue

So if I cross multiply then 14 x 31=434 10x31=4,350 or If I reduce 10/14 that would equal 5/7 5/7=1,085/31 Can you check and see if I did this right?

I kind of understand. I am going to study what you sent. So the answer to this problem then would be the grass would grow 144 inches in 24 days then.

So would the answer be 310

Multiply so you would multiply $6.95 per pound of coffee x 3.4 pounds of coffee=$23.63 is the total that he paid

Ty so much Ms. Sue. You are the best.

The least common multiple is 20 so 20 would be the answer.

That was easy then.

So I got the answer right then. 6 honeybees would make 1/2 teaspoon of honey?

I am looking and it does not say I can't find it.

Wait. Would it just be 4/1 and then 16/1

Or the answer would be 4/16=x/1

I think I get what they are saying. It would be as follows: 4/16=0.25/1

I did. I just cross multiplied to make sure I had the correct answers.

Okay I understand put what it is talking about. Thank you

Yes I understand.

Then it states use the greatest common factor 6 from the answer above to rewrite using the distributive property.

What numbers would I use to do the distributive property? Would it be 6(42 + 12)?

I got a totally different answer.

Yay I did it right. Ty

In 11b there would be 16 ounces so 96 oz divided by 5 ounces would be 19.2 so that is about 19 apples? Would that be correct?

I just figured out what I did wrong the answer is 45/8

So only for addition and subtraction you would find the common denominator? Not or multiplication or division?

What if you have 5/8 divided by 2/3? I got 15/24 divided 16/24 and now I got stuck.

Oh! I see now how you got 5 and 5/8 this makes sense now. Thank you

Okay that is easy. So then my answer would be 15/16 5/8 divided by 2/3 5/8 x 3/2=15/16

Thank you Ms. Sue.
