Cody filled 9/10 of a bag with litter that he was picking up. michelle filled 3/5 of a bag with litter. how much more litter did cody pick up than michelle? = ? /?

Cody filled 9/10 of a bag and Michelle filled 6/10 of a bag 
Therefore Cody filled 3/10 more than Michelle

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the common denominator and subtract 3/5 from 9/10.

3/5 = 6/10
9/10 = 9/10
The common denominator is 10.

Now, we subtract.

9/10 - 6/10 = 3/10

Since 3/10 can't be simplified, 3/10 bag is our answer.

Hope this helps!

It should be c i think.

Answer: 10pi

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
