What is 2 1/8 take away 1/2​

Mathematics
1 answer:
goblinko [34]3 years ago
5 0

The equation is 2\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2} .

1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)

The new equation is \frac{17}{8} -\frac{4}{8} . Subtract the numerators.

17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8

The improper fraction \frac{13}{8} simplifies to 1\frac{5}{8} .

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1\frac{5}{8}

Hope this helps :)

Investigate the difference between compounding annually and simple interest
Gennadij [26K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

A = P (1 + rt)

Compound interest formula

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

a.

A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*1)\\A=5000(1.025)\\A=5125

Simple interest is $125

b

. A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*1}      \\A=5000(1.025)\\A= 5125

Compound interest is $125

c. the result for both a and b are the same

d.

A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*3) \\A=5000(1.075) \\A=5375

the simple interest is $375

e

. A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*3}] \\A=5000(1.025)^3 \\A=5000(1.077)\\A= 5385

the compound interest is $385

f. the result compared, compound interest is $10 more than simple interest

g.

A = 5000 (1 + 0.02*6) \\A=5000(1.12) \\A=5600

the simple interest is $600

h.

A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.02}{1})^{1*6}] \\A=5000(1.12)^6 \\A=5000(1.9738) \\A= 9869

the compound interest is $4869

i. the result from g and h, h is over 8 times bigger than g.

j. interest compound annually is not the same as simple interest, only for the case of a and b seeing that it is for 1 year. but for 2years and above there is difference as seen in c to h

If you can buy 1⁄3 of a box of chocolates for 6 dollars, how much can you purchase for 4 dollars?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

2/9 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 / 1 / 3 = 4 / b

Cross multiply the two

6b = 4/3

Multiply 1/6 on each side

B = 4 /18

It can be reduced to 2/9.

Mrs Hong had some milk. She used of it to bake some waffles and
Sergio [31]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Mrs. Hong originally had 900 ml of milk

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The complete question is in the attached image

Assume that the amount of milk Mrs. Hong originally had was x ml

<u>We are given that:</u>

1- She used \frac{1}{6} of it to bake the waffles, <u>therefore</u>:

   Amount used in baking waffles = \frac{1}{6}x ml

2- She used 300 ml to bake a pie

3- Amount left is half the original amount, <u>therefore</u>:

   Amount left = \frac{1}{2}x ml

<u>We know that:</u>

Total amount = amount used in waffles + amount used in pie + amount left

<u>Substitute with the givens and solve for x:</u>

Total amount = amount used in waffles + amount used in pie + amount left

x = \frac{1}{6}x + 300 + \frac{1}{2}x\\  \\x-\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{1}{2}x = 300\\   \\\frac{1}{3}x = 300\\  \\x = 300*3 = 900 ml

<u>This means that:</u>

She originally had 900 ml of milk

Hope this helps :)
