sum of mixed numbers would be 5 815/1000
6 21/1000
Cant find answer to b. but hope this helps!
A. Write the sum of 5.815 and 6.021 as mixed numbers:
Step 1: Convert the decimals to fractions.
To convert 5.815 and 6.021 to fractions, you need to count the number of decimal places after the whole numbers.
5.815 has 3 decimal places (after the decimal point), so it can be written as 5815/1000.
6.021 has 3 decimal places (after the decimal point), so it can be written as 6021/1000.
Step 2: Rewrite the mixed numbers.
Now that you have the fractions, rewrite them as mixed numbers by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
5815 ÷ 1000 = 5 remainder 815.
6021 ÷ 1000 = 6 remainder 21.
So, the sum of 5.815 and 6.021 written as a sum of two mixed numbers is:
5 815/1000 + 6 21/1000.
B. Compare the sum of the two mixed numbers to the sum of the decimals.
To compare the two, you'll need to convert the mixed numbers fraction back to decimals:
5 815/1000 = 5 + 815/1000 = 5 + 0.815 = 5.815.
6 21/1000 = 6 + 21/1000 = 6 + 0.021 = 6.021.
We can see that the sum of the mixed numbers (5 815/1000 and 6 21/1000) is equivalent to the sum of the decimals (5.815 and 6.021).
Therefore, the answer to A is: Ursula wrote the sum of 5.815 plus 6.021 as 5 815/1000 + 6 21/1000, and the answer to B is that the sum of the mixed numbers is the same as the sum of the decimals.
