Kim finds a 1-meter tree branch and marks it off in thirds and fifths. She then breaks the branch along all the markings and removes one piece of every distinct length. What fraction of the original branch remains

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the fraction of the original branch that remains, so we will assume a length of the branch in order to make our calculation easier.

Since Kim marks it off in thirds and fifths, let's find the least common multiple of 3 & 5.

Least common multiple of 3 & 5 is 15.

Thus,let's make the length of the branch to be 15-meter long.

Now, if the branch is 15 m long, considering the markings of thirds and fifths, the branch would be cut at:

3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 meters.

We are told that She then breaks the branch along all the markings and removes one piece of every distinct length. Thus;

Distinct lengths are;

3 metres

5 - 3 = 2 metres

10 - 9 = 1 meter

Total she removes = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 meters.

Total remaining is;

15 - 6 = 9 meters

Expressing this as a fraction of the original branch gives:

9/15

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3 to get; 3/5

0

step-by-step explanation:

you can not divide by 0 so 4 ÷ 0 would be 0

0 × 9999 =0

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
