7 7/8 + 5 13/16
We must have a common denominator between the 2 fractions.
8 can go into 16.
7 x 2 = 14
8 x 2 = 16
The fraction is now 14/16 rather than 7/8.
14/16 + 13/16 = 27/16 = 1 11/16
7 + 5 = 12
12 + 1 11/16 = 13 11/16.
The final sum is 13 11/16.
Answer:
mango is .25 and apple is .25 i took a picture of my work- dont mind the purple paper it was my notes packet xdd
Step-by-step explanation:
First we set up a proportion:
Now we solve the proportion:
• 27*4 = 108
• 3*x = 4x
• 3x = 108
We solve for X by dividing 3 on both sides:
• 3x/3 = x
<span>• 108/3= 36
</span>
Our answer:
x = 36
There were 36 boys in the club.
To solve this problem, first we need to find the number of peanuts, cashews, and almonds in the bag...
Total nuts=144
The ratio of cashews to peanuts to almonds can be shown as:
cashews:peanuts:almonds
2:3:7
Now lets add up the numbers in the ratio.
2+3+7=12
So, for every 12 nuts in the bag, 2 are cashews. For every 12 nuts in the bag, 3 are peanuts. For every 12 nuts in the bag, 7 are almonds.
Now lets divide the total number of nuts (144) by the sum of the ratio (12).
144/12=12
Now we can solve for the number of every type of nut in the bag...
Cashews=12*2=24nuts
Peanuts=12*3=36nuts
Almonds=12*7=84nuts
Now we can answer the problem:
Peanuts-cashews=
36-24=12 nuts
Answer: There are 12 more peanuts than cashews.
