Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't simplify 5/6 since while 6 would divide in half to be 3 and match the other denominator, 5 wouldn't divide in half evenly. Instead, multiply the top and bottom number of the other fraction by two:

5/6 - 4/6

This way they share equal denominators. When subtracting fractions with matching denominators, the denominator doesn't change in the answer. Just subtract the numerators:

5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6

This is already in simplest form.

Bob wants to buy a TV that cost $500 plus 8% tax. He is getting a bonus of $45 and a birthday gift of $85 which he plans to use
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

He needs to work for 40 whole hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount a Tv will cost Bob in terms of the number of hours he needs to work.

Let’s look at the total cost he has to pay.

a. $500

b. 8% tax = 8/100 * 500 = $40

c. He is paying 2 bills of $35 each making a total of 2 * $35 = $70

The total amount he is to pay is thus; 500 + 40 + 70 = $610

Let’s look at his income ;

a. Bonus $45

b. Birthday gift $85

The total amount of money he has asides his salary to offset the bill is 45 + 85 = $130

The balance to pay from his salary would be $610 - $130 = $480

The number of hours he has to work since he earns $12 per hour would be 480/12 = 40 hours of work

Find all real numbers $s$ such that $-2(s - 7) > 4s + 8$. Give your answer in interval notation.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

s\in (-\infty,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the inequality -2(s - 7) > 4s + 8

Use distributive property:

-2s+14>4s+8

Subtract 4s:

-2s+14-4s>4s+8-4s\\ \\-6s+14>8

Subtract 14:

-6s+14-14>8-14\\ \\-6s>-6

Divide by -6 (do not forget to change sign, because division by negative number changes the sign):

s

What is the length of QR?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right with hypotenuse QR

Use Pythagoras' identity to solve for QR

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

QR² = 8² + (8\sqrt{3} )²

       = 64 + 192

       = 256 ( take the square root of both sides )

QR = \sqrt{256} = 16
