Answer:
98
Step-by-step explanation:
56 x 1 3/4
56 x 1.75 = 98
Let's say that B makes $100.
Then A makes $75.
So, your question then becomes 100 is what percent of 75?
This can be solved by setting up the proportion 100 / 75 = x / 100
75x = 10000
x = 133.3
So, B's income is 33.3% more than A's income.
Answer: -5/12
Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.
So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.
Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.
Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.
So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.
So our answer is -5/12.
Be very careful with your signs!
