You simply divide 3 into 8, which results in 0.375. Now you add 7 to it, which is 7.375.
Answer:
1:8
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour for every 8 ounces gives a 1:8 ratio
Answer:
5 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Change them into improper fractions. Multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. Put that number over the denominator.
2 X 3 = 6 3 X 2 = 6
6 + 1 = 7 6 + 1 = 7
7/3 7/2
New expression: 7/3 + 7/2
Find a common denominator. Both denominators can go into 6.
14/6 + 21/6 = 35/6
Change this back into a mixed number by dividing.
Answer: 5 5/6
Consider the example
(3x+5) - (x-10)
When we subtract off the (x-10), we are basically subtracting off x and also subtracting off -10. This is the same as adding on 10 because -(-10) = 10
So we would have these steps
(3x+5)-(x-10)
3x+5-x+10
2x+15
Often students forget to distribute the negative all the way through and would have 3x+5-x-10 as an incorrect step. You need to multiply that -1 through to each term, so that's why the distributive property is used.
