Ok, so on this one you need to change your mixed numbers to improper fractions.
R
9 5/8 = 8x9+5= 77/8
1 7/8 = 8x1+7 = 15/8

Now subtract since your denominators are equal.
77/8 - 15/8 = 62/8

Now change back to a mixed number, 8 × 7 = 56 with a remainder of 6.

7 6/8 , simplify 6/8 to 3/4.

Your final answer is 7 3/4. Hope this helps you!

A football team lost five yards on each of two consecutive plays. Find the total change in yardage.

maria [59]

Answer:

The change is a loss of 10 yards, so -10 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total change in yardage after 2 plays is the sum of the yardage of each play.

What lost yardage means?

Lost yardage means negative yardage.

Imagine that in a Buffalo Bills game, Devin Singletary lost 2 yards on his first carry. So his total yardage is -2.

If in the next carry he gets 3 yards, his total yardage is 1. If he loses 1, his total yardage is -3.

First play

Loss of 5 yards.

So the first play counts for -5 yards.

Second play

Loss of 5 yards.

So the second play counts for -5 yards.

Total

-5 - 5 = -10

The change is a loss of 10 yards, so -10 yards.

You can have a calculator add these numbers for you. Most will report the result as a decimal. There are fraction calculators on-line, if your graphing calculator does not have a fraction display mode.

If you want minutes, multiply the fraction (or decimal) by 60 minutes.
