Mrs. tillman builds furniture. she saws a maple board that is 4.56 meters long into 4 equal lengths. she saws an oak board that is 3.69 meters long into 3 equal lengths. which is longer, a piece of oak or a piece of maple?

A piece of oak is longer than a piece of maple

Explanation:

1- For the maple:

We know that the total length of the maple is 4.56 meters and that this length is equally divided into 4 pieces

Therefore:

Length of each maple piece = meters

2- For the oak:

We know that the total length of the oak is 3.69 meters and that this length is equally divided into 3 pieces

Therefore:

Length of each oak piece = meters

3- Comparing the length of the pieces:

We now calculated that:

length of maple piece is 1.14 meters

length of oak piece is 1.23 meters

We can compare the two values using the number in the tenth position

Therefore:

1.23 > 1.24

which means that one piece of oak is longer than one piece of maple

Hope this helps :)

a farmer that lived in ancient egypt would most likely be barried in the sand, in the desert!

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
