The answer is 1/12







Step-by-Step:


to start off, you answer you must change the denominators into the same number, so since 3 goes into 12 four times, you must multiply the numerator and denominator by four.


1. 2/3 - 7/12

In a large marathon, runners start the race in stages. Leanna started in group E and ran at a rate of 4.8 miles per hour. During
grandymaker [24]

Answer: Leanna ran 39.96 miles before she was passed by Irina.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Irina would pass Leanna, they would have ran the same distance.

Let t represent the time that Leanna ran before she was passed by Irina.

Distance = speed × time

Leanna started in group E and ran at a rate of 4.8 miles per hour. The distance ran by Leanna before she was passed by Irina is

4.8 × t = 4.8t

During the race she was passed by Irina who ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour and started in group H, 20 minutes(20/60 = 0.333 hour) after Leanna started. The time spent by Irina in running this distance is

t - 0.333

Distance ran by Irina is

5(t - 0.333) = 5t - 1.665

Since they ran the same distance, then

4.8t = 5t - 1.665

5t - 4.8t = 1.665

0.2t = 1.665

t = 1.665/0.2 = 8.325 hours

Therefore, the distance that Leanna ran before she was passed by Irina is

4.8 × 8.325 = 39.96 miles

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y - x = 5?
Ghella [55]
A parallel line would have the same slope as the given line so first you'd rewrite the equation y-x=5 to y=x+5 the slope is the x value so the slope is 1.

Rita earns $16.00 per hour. If she gets a 3% raise, what will be her new hourly wage?
Vikentia [17]
All percentages can be expressed as fractions or decimals. To find a percentage of a number, we multiply the percentage with the number. In this case:
3/100 * 16/1 = 48/100 = 0.48
Or:
0.03 * 16 = 0.48
Her new hourly wage would be $16.48
