Your city wants to replace a fence around the city baseball field property, including the parking lot. The city learns that the total distance around the property is 1 1/2 of a mile. They already have enough fencing to cover 3/4 of a mile. How much more distance of fencing would they need to purchase?(1 point)

1 mile
To find the amount of fencing they would need to purchase, subtract the amount of fencing they already have (3/4 of a mile) from the total distance around the property (1 1/2 of a mile).
1 1/2 - 3/4 = 3/2 - 3/4 = 6/4 - 3/4 = 3/4 of a mile
Therefore, they would need to purchase 3/4 of a mile more of fencing.

To find the total votes for the two people, you need to add the number of votes the first person received to the number of votes the second person received.
13 + 215 = 228
Therefore, the total votes for the two people is 228.
There are three people running to be elected as the Town Clerk. If the first person gets 1/3 of the votes, and the second person gets 2/15 of the votes, what is the total votes for the two people?(1 point)

To find the total votes for the two people, you need to add the number of votes the first person received to the number of votes the second person received.
1/3 + 2/15 = 5/15 + 2/15 = 7/15
Therefore, the total votes for the two people is 7/15.

To find the fractional portion of cookies that Skyler still needs to decorate, subtract the number of cookies he has already decorated (14) from the total number of cookies he made (23).
23 - 14 = 9
Therefore, Skyler still needs to decorate 9 cookies.
The fractional portion remaining can be expressed as a fraction by taking the remaining number of cookies (9) and dividing it by the total number of cookies made (23).
9/23
Therefore, the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate is 9/23.
