He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the unknown number
difference is subtraction
3n -4 = -19
Add 4 to each side
3n-4+4 = -19+4
3n = -15
Divide by 3
3n/3 = -15/3
n = -5
Answer:
x = 4 ±√26
Step-by-step explanation:
Please write this as x^2 - 8x = 10, or x^2 - 8x - 10 = 0. " ^ " indicates exponentiation.
Let's complete the square:
x^2 - 8 x can be rewritten as
x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16, and so
x^2 - 8x = 10 becomes x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16 - 10 = 0, or
(x - 4)^2 = 26
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
x - 4 = ±√26, or
x = 4 ±√26
Answer:
2.2 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3/4 of the weight is apples, the remaining 1/4 is pears. 1/4 of 8.8 is 2.2, so ...
the farmer sold 2.2 kg of pears at the farmer's market.
Start by multiplying 8 and 5 to get the hours worked each week.
Next multiply that by 6 to get how many hours she'll work in 6 weeks.
