Subtract the fractions and simplify the answer 7 8/9-5 3/5

One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result:  2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.

The LCD is (5)(9)=45.  Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.

Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is  2 13/45.

You could also do this problem by converting  7 8/9    and   5 3/5 into improper fractions:

71/9 - 28/5.  Again, the LCD is 45.  Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?

21. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary (add to 180°).
  m∠R = m∠P = 180° -m∠Q
  m∠Q = 107°
  m∠P = 73°

25. If you draw any diagonal, it divides the figure into two congruent triangles (by the SSS postulate). Corresponding angles are congruent, so the diagonal is a transversal between parallel lines. Thus opposite sides are parallel and the figure is a parallelogram.

27. Opposite sides are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other. Your four equations are
  2w+4 = 5w-6 . . . . w = 10/3
  12 = 3x-3 . . . . . . . x = 5
  6y = 4y+6 . . . . . . . y = 3
  27 = (5/4)z +2 . . . z = 20

-25/J = 5<br> 16 + s = -90<br> 13 + t = 51<br> r/10 = (-6)<br> a + -12 =45
alexandr1967 [171]

we conclude that the solution for the given algebraic expressions are:

  • J = -5
  • s = -106
  • t = 38
  • r = -60
  • a = 57

<h3>How to solve these algebraic expressions?</h3>

Here we have some simple algebraic expressions:

The first one is:

-25/J = 5

We want to solve this for J.

Remember that we can perform the same operation in both sides of the equation, then we cans tart by multiplying both sides by J.

(-25/J)*J = 5*J

-25 = 5*J

Now we can divide both sides by 5, so we isolate J:

(-25)/5 = (5*J)/5

-5 = J

We conclude that the solution is J = -5.

Now, similarly for the other equations we have that:

16 + s = -90

Here we subtract 16 in both sides:

s = -90 - 16 = -106

13 + t = 51

Here we subtract 13 in both sides:

t = 51 - 13 = 38

r/10 = (-6)

Here we multiply both sides by 10:

r = (-6)*10 = -60

a + (-12) = 45

Here we add 12 in both sides:

a = 45 + 12 = 57

Then we conclude that the solution for the given algebraic expressions are:

  • J = -5
  • s = -106
  • t = 38
  • r = -60
  • a = 57

Loan Amount: $13,000 Method of payment: discount basis Amount of Interest: $625 Term of loan: 1 year Effective Rate of Interest
Gekata [30.6K]
<span>Loan Amount: $13,000
Method of payment: discount basis
Amount of Interest: $625
</span><span> Term of loan: 1 year
</span>
∴ Rate if interest = \frac{Amount \ of \ Interest}{Loan \ Amount} *100
Rate =  \frac{625}{13,000} *100 = \framebox {4.8 \%}

So, the correct answer is option (1) 4.8
