How to subtract fractions

Mathematics
1 answer:

You need to first make denominator in the fractions you have equal, then simply subtract numenators.

example:
2/3 - 1/2
first step is to make denominators equal.
for this example, the denominator will be equal to 6 which is 2x3
so, 2/3 = 4/6 and 1/2 = 3/6
so, the expression now becomes:
4/6 - 3/6
simply subtract numenators and the denominator will be 6 as well.
4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

another example:
3/4 - 1/2
here the denominator can be equal to 4 in all terms
1/2 = 2/4
so, the new expression is now:
3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 30% copper and another alloy that is 65% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy should
LenKa [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the mass of 30% copper alloy, and y is the mass of 65% copper alloy, then:

x + y = 80

0.30x + 0.65y = 0.51(80)

Solving the system of equations using substitution:

0.30x + 0.65(80 − x) = 0.51(80)

0.30x + 52 − 0.65x = 40.8

11.2 = 0.35x

x = 32

y = 80 − x

y = 48

The metalworker needs 32 kg of 30% copper alloy and 48 kg of 65% copper alloy.
