Step-by-step explanation:
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
1.5, 1.6
Discussion:
The question is how to interpret 5/10 * 3. Both multiplication and division have the same precedence but we proceed from left to right (doing the divison first)
5/10 * 3 = (5/10) * 3 = (1/2)* 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
Same approach for the second equation:
4/10 * 4 = (4/10) * 4 = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6
Thank you,
MrB
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
