4/5-1/2 answer my question

Mathematics

vlabodo [156]3 years ago

4/5 - 1/2 =

3/10 in exact form

0.3 in decimal form

When subtracting a fraction, you always have to make sure your denominator/divisor's are the same.

Therefore you would find the Least Common Multiple of 5 and 2

Both would eventually come to 10, multiplying 4/5 by 2 on both the numerator and the denominator

Do the same with 1/2 except you multiply this one by 5 on both the numerator and the denominator.

Your fractions would then be  8/10 and 5/10

Then you subtract

8/10 - 5/10 = 3/10

(The Denominator does not change after all this)

Hope this helps :)

3/10 you cross multiply 5x2=10 so the denominator will be 10 and then cross multiply the numberators by the different denominator make sense? so 5x 1=5 and that mean 1/2=5/10 and 4/5=8/10 and the final answer when u subtract is 3/10 makes sense? u know what i mean jelly bean?

Determine algebrically if f(x)=4x³-5x is odd or even function​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Odd function

Step-by-step explanation:

So to see if a function is odd or even we need to plug in a negative x for x, so f(-x)=4(-x)^3-5(-x). This produces -4x^3+5x, which is the exact opposite of the original equation, so it is an odd function. If it were even, then the signs of the coefficients would be the same as the original function.

Sammy buys 5 pounds of oranges for 7.50 at this rate how much would 8 pounds of oranges cost
Nadusha1986 [10]

The cost of 8 pounds of oranges based on the total cost of 5 pounds bought is 12.00

What is the cost for a pound of oranges?

The cost of a pound of oranges based on the rate at which 5 pounds were bought and 8 pounds would also be bought is determined as the amount paid for 5 pounds of oranges divided by the number of pounds of oranges bought

cost per pound of oranges=cost of 5 pounds/5 pounds

cost per pound of oranges=7.50/5

cost per pound of oranges=1.50

Based on the 1.50 per pound, the cost of 8 pounds is the cost per pound multiplied by 8 pounds

cost of 8 pounds of oranges=1.50*8pounds

cost of 8 pounds of oranges=12.00

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Kerosene weighs 0.82 g
netineya [11]

Answer:

The specific gravity of kerosene is 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of Kerosene

y ----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of water

z ---> the specific gravity of a substance

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=0.82\ g\\y=1\ g

substitute the values

z=\frac{0.82}{1}=0.82
