In two or more complete sentences, describe the steps necessary in completing the following sum. In your final answer, include t
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

First, you would need to find a common denominator for the two, in this case it would be 6 which would make the equation 3/6 + 4/6=7/6. Then in order to make the answer a mixed number you would need to divide the numerator into the demonanator,  write down the whole number answer (6 will go into 7 ONE time) then write down the "leftovers". The final answer would be 1 1/6

(i hope this helps! im not the best at explaining)

Looking at this triangle, we can see that is a form of a 45, 45, 90 triangle
This would mean that 2x-24=x-2
Solve: 2x-24=x-2
subtract x from both sides and add 24 to both sides...

Whats the difference in 2/3 - 1/6
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2/3&1/6

2/3- 1/6

the LCM for 3 and 6 is 6

=(2x6)/(3x6) -(1x6)/(6x6)

=4/6-1/6

=(4-1)/6

find the difference

= 3/6

=1/2

2/3-1/6= 1/2

By using LCM method, 1/2 is the equivalent fraction by subtracting 1/6 from 2/3.

2/3&1/6

2/3- 1/6

cross multiply

2x6-1x3/3x6

simplify

12-3/18

=9/18

= 1/2

2/3-1/6 = 1/2

By using cross multiplication method, 1/2 is the difference between two fractions 2/3 and 1/6.

A store has a 20% sale on everything. An item originally cost 350 AED. What is the sale price? Show your work of how you calcula
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A store has a 20% sale on everything.

So since you are saving 20%, you will only be paying 80% of the original price.

To find the sale price use the following formula:

Sale price = 80% x original price

They told us the original price = 350 AED

This means:

Sale price = 80% x 350

I think it would be easiest to change 80% into a fraction if you don't have a calculator :)

80% = \frac{80}{100}  = \frac{4}{5}

This means that the

Sale Price= \frac{4}{5} x 350 = 280 AED
