To find the difference of 5 1/8 and 2 1/5 I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Therefore, I would have 41/8 - 11/5. Then, I would find a common denominator which would be 40. I would have 205/40 - 88/40 and I would end up with 117/40.
Can you please help me answer my question? I already asked it but it hasn't been answered. It is fro social studies: What were some accomplishments of Montezuma?
Okay. So the bill was a total of $725, with 6% sales tax added. To find the amount of sales tax, all you have to do is multiply the amount on the bill by the percentage of tax. 725 * 6% (0.06) is 43.5. There. The sales tax was $43.50.
