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

Write an expression that computes the average of the values 12 and 40.

Greetings!

To find the average of a set of numbers, you add them together and divide by the amount of numbers.

In an expression:
$(12+40)/2$
Follow PEDMASS
$(52)/2$
$=26$

The average of the two numbers is 26.

Hope this helps.

Use the Law of Sines:

600 a
---------- = ---------- where 94 came from subtracting (11 + 75) from 180.
sin 11 sin 94

Solve this for side a.

First question:

The line segment that is 40 ft long is a tangent to the circle, meaning it creates a right angle with the radius that intersects it.
