Subtract 2_5/8 minus 1_1/3:
First, get the fractions to have a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together: 8*3 = 24
Rewrite both fractions with this new denominator:
5/8 needs to be multiplied by 3 on top and bottom to make it have a denominator of 24:
5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24
1/3 needs to be multiplied by 8 on top and bottom to make it have a denominator of 24:
1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24
Now that the fractions have been rewritten with the same denominator, subtract the mixed numbers:
2_15/24 - 1_8/24
Whole numbers:
2 - 1 = 1
Fractions:
15/24 - 8/24 = 7/24.

Looks like you just evaluated the summand for the given value of

, whereas the question is asking you to find the value of the sum for the first

terms.
Let

. Then

is the

th partial sum.

happens to be the first term in the series, which is why that box is marked correct:

But the next partial sum is not correct:

and this is not the same notion as the second term (which indeed is 0.75) in the series.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The protein/calories ratios are equivalent
Discussion:
For the first column
Protein/calories = 24/96 = 1/4
For the second column
Protein/calories = 28/112 = 1/4
So the protein/calories ratios are equivalent
Thank you,

Answer:
A. 31/100
Step-by-step explanation:
Change 3/10 to hundreds:
3/10 × 10/10 = 30/100
The denominator (the bottom number) must be 100.
61 - 30 is 31.
The missing number is 31/100. See image.
