You can always convert this to decimal form which I prefer:
3/4 = .75
1/5 = .2
.75 - .2= 0.55
or in fraction form
11/20
I hope this helps

Answer:

2 1/4 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how much pie was leftover from each pie:

Apple pie: 3/4, 4 - 3 = 1, 1/4

Blackberry: 1/2, 2 - 1 = 1, 1/2

Blueberry: 1/8, 8 - 1 = 7, 7/8

Cherry: 5/8, 8 - 5 = 3, 3/8

Peach: 3/4, 4 - 3 = 1, 1/4

There are 1/4, 1/2, 7/8, 3/8, and 1/4 pies left. The LCD if these numbers is 8, since 2*4 = 8, 4*2 = 8, and 8*1 = 8

1/4 = 2/8

1/2 = 4/8

7/8 = 7/8

3/8 = 3/8

1/4 = 2/8

2 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 18, so 18/8 pies, or 2 2/8, or 2 1/4

Jose works 25 hours a week at $12.50 per hour. How many weeks will he have to work to earn $3,437.50?

Sidana [21]

The answer is 11. You multiply 25 and 12.5 first. then once you find out how much money you get each week, you divide the 3437.5 by the number you got, which is 312.5. Divide 3437.5 by 312.5
