If he descends 60.5 feet from the top of the reef, then the elevation to the top of the reef is 60.5 feet
If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:
5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]
To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:
5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9
Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.
The answer is 98 small and 57 large cups.
s - the number of small cups
l - the number of large cups
<span>Ashley sold a total of 155 cups: s + l = 155
</span><span>Ashley earned</span><span>for $265: 1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
</span>s + l = 155
1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
________
s = 155 - l
1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
________
1.25 * (155 - l) + 2.50 * l = 265
193.75 - 1.25 * l + 2.50 * l = 265
193.75 + 1.25 * l = 265
1.25 * l = 265 - 193.75
1.25 * l = 71.25
l = 71.25 / 1.25
l = 57
______
s = 155 - l
l = 57
s = 155 - 57
s = 98
One way is to find common factors
example
8/6=4/3 because 8/6, 8 and 6 have common factor of 2 so divide that out to get 4/3
basically divide the LCM from each
so factor
we can combine 36m-48m into -12m
we have
-12m/6m
common factor is 6m
-12m/6m=(-2)/1 times (6m)/(6m)=-2 times 1=-2
answer is -2
