What is 7 1/12 - 2 3/4 in simplest form

Mathematics

7 1/12  -  2 3/4

First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions

7 1/12  =  7 x 12 + 1 = 85   85/12

2 3/4  =  2 x 4 + 3 =  11     11/4

 85/12 - 11/4

Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12

4, 8, 12

12

12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator

85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.

11/4  =  33/12 

4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.

3 x 11 = 33

3 x 4 = 12

So, our new fraction is 33/12.  Now we subtract

85/12  -  33/12  =  52/12

Now we convert back to a mixed number

52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce

4 1/3

Hope this helps.

Given that ∠A and ∠B are supplementary, Daisy conjectured that ∠A≅∠B .
dexar [7]
When two angles are supplementary, that means that the sum of their individual angles is equal to a straight line, which is 180°. If you add another restriction where the two supplementary angles are equal, then each vale of the angle constitutes half of 180°. Then, that means that ∠A = ∠B = 90°. The answer is C.

I golf club charges $10 to join and
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: He could have played more than 3 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality.

I golf club charges $10 to join and $5 per game: So, the cost of playing golf is equal to $10 (joining price) plus the product of the number of games played (x) and the price per game (5).

That expression must be higher than 25, since john paid more than $25.

Mathematically speaking

10+ 5 x > 25

Solving for x

5x >25-10

5x >15

x >15/5

x> 3

He could have played more than 3 games, since his cost was higher ( not equal or higher) than 25.

Find the least whole number that can replace to make the statement true
Vikki [24]

Remark

Thank you for editing your question. Very few people do and those of answering don't really like reporting incomplete questions (or I don't).

You could write it like this.

Solve\dfrac{x}{7} > 800 Multiply both sides by 7

x > 800 * 7

x > 5600 That would make the inequality equal to 800 if x = 5600.

You need to go just 1 step further. Try 5607. When you divide that by 7, you get 5607/7 = 801 which is 1 bigger than 800.
