How to write a whole number into a fraction in a subtraction problem

1 answer:

7 0

Im hoping you just want an example so here you go

whole number: 16
fraction version of 16: 16/1

to subtract fractions you have to have a common denominator.

so if i had a problem like 6 -1/3
step 1 would be to turn 6 into a fraction: 6/1
step 2 is to find the common denominator:
6/1 -1/3, in this case it is 3, so you multuply the first term by 3
you would then get 18/3 - 1/3, now all you do if subract numerators, 18-3=15

final answer would be 15/3, you can simplify it into 5/1 which is also 5

2y-3x=ay-2x for y <br> please solve for y

babunello [35]

Answer:

$y= \frac{x}{-a + 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - 3x = ay - 2x

(2y - 3x) + (3x - ay) = (ay - 2x) + (3x - 2y)

2y - 3x + 3x - ay = ay - 2x + 3x - ay

2y - ay = ay - ay -2x + 3x

2y - ay = x

y(-a + 2) = x

$\frac{y(-a + 2)}{-a + 2} = \frac{x}{-a + 2}$

$y= \frac{x}{-a + 2}$

Hope this helps! :D

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

We have 20 category Questions split into 5

Where we would assume that the 3rd question is simply 1/4 + 5/20 chance.

This is not a determiner as Robin is asked more questions.

So it is simply 1/4 and kept to factors that Robin will answer one of the 4 choices upon the 3rd question as 1/4 regardless of other questions being asked. Where Robins first answer would be the third question we subtract 4/5 = 16/20 - 5/20= 11/40. Which can only be rounded down to 2 decimal places 0.275

What is the area of rhombus ABCD? do not round any steps

katrin2010 [14]

Because ABCD is a rhombus, ΔABC ~ ΔADC.

The length of AC = 4 (the base of ΔABC.
The height of ΔABC = 7 - 1 = 6
The area of ΔABC is
(1/2)*4*6 = 12

Therefore the area of ABCD = 2*12 = 24

Answer: 24

A ladder which is 6.7 m long is placed on the ground 2.8 m from a vertical wall and then leaned over to the wall. How high up th

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

6.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Always draw a diagram! And now pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitution:

a^2 + 2.8^2 = 6.7^2

a^2 + 7.84 = 44.89

a^2 = 37.05

a = 6.086...

Rounding <u>up</u> to one decimal point, thats 6.1 m
