Yes you can divide fractions using models here is an example
Answer: 1 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine 3 1/3 as if it’s in parenthesis as (3 + 1/3)
Subtract three from five.
You should get two.
Then you subtract the last 1/3 from that two.
There are three thirds in one digit.
Therefore, two thirds are left over, plus that last whole digit.
You are left with one and one third.
Answer: w = -3u/2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12u + 13 = 8w - 3
-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3
-12u + 16 = 8w
w = -3u/2 + 2
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
