How do you subtract fractions with different denominators?

Mathematics

You find a common denominator, for example, if you want to subtract 3/4 minus 1/2 you would have to multiply 1/2 by 2/2, which equals 2/4, then you can do 3/4-2/4, which is 1/4. Sorry if it’s a bit confusing, hope it helps!

Answer:

When solving fractions with different denominators, you first need to make the denominators the same.

Example:

\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{4}

You need to make sure the denominators are the same.

Can 2 get multiply by something and will be 4?

The answer is yes, if you multiply 2 by 2, it will change the 2 to 4. You have to multiply the equation \frac{1}{2} by  \frac{4}{4} (which is also equivalent to 1) and which change the equation to \frac{2}{4}.

And now you can subtract because the denominators are the same.

Hope this helps!

In a recent year the fuel economy of all passenger vehicles was 19.8 mpg. A trade organization sampled 50 passenger vehicles for
salantis [7]

Answers and Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotheses are:

H o=19.8

H 1 ≠19.8

Here we have following information:

s=2.45, X bar=20.1, n=50

So test statistics will be

t=20.1-19.8/(2.45/\sqrt{50} =0.87

Degree of freedom : d f = n - 1 = 50 - 1 =49

Test is two tailed so critical value of the test is -1.30 and 1.30.

Rejection region:

if t < -1.30 and t > 1.30, reject H o

Since test statistics lie in the rejection region so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(b)

The observed significance of the test is

P value =0.3885

(c)

Since p value is greater than 0.20 so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

A rectangle sandbox has a width of 5 feet. Tbe sandbox is 5 times as long as it is wide. What is the perimeter of the sandbox?
NikAS [45]
The perimeter of the sandbox is 60 ft.
5x5=25
Two sides = 25, so 25+25 = 50.
Two other sides = 5, so 5+5=10
50+10 = 60, and that is the correct answer.
