Question:

In a certain year, Minnesota produced 2/3 and Michigan produced 1/6 of all the iron ore produced in the United?

In a certain year, Minnesota produced 2/3 and Michigan produced 1/6 of all the iron ore produced in the United States. If all the other states combined produced 18 million tons that year, how many millions tons did MInnesota produce that year? The answer is 72, but how does one arrive at that?

Answer:

You need to pop the hood and disconnect it from the inside by the engine.
steal the battery ha ha no you may call the police and they may impound it the battery will run down on its own after a while if you dont want to be a snitch
18 million is 1/6 of the iron made, so since minnesota produced 4/6 (common denominator and multiply), you have to multiply that 18 million (one part of 6) by four (to 4 parts of six)!
2/3 4/6 4/6+1/6 +other 6/6 other 1/6 18 million tons 18*4 72 million tons
