Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:
7/8 - 3/8
Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.
7 - 3 = 4
So answer is:
4/8
Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
Cost/ ounce
16 ounce $1 16 ounce
_________ × _________ = __________ ≈ 19 ¢ per ounce
$ 3.20 100 ¢ 320
X = your number
x+16-30=36
x-14=36
x=50
Your number is 50.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
How do you evaluate fractions with whole numbers?
Multiply a fraction with a whole number by multiplying only the numerator. For example, 5 x 1/8 = 5/8. Multiply a fraction with another fraction by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, 3/8 x 2/5 = 6/40 = 3/20.
You would cross multiply for this.
20 ·
35 = 700
Then you would divide.
700 ÷
50 = 14
There would be
14 cones placed along 35 feet of road.
