To subtract fractions, we need an lcd( lowest common denominator)
8. the lcd is 42 because it’s the smallest number that 6 and 7 are both factors of. the lcd is the bottom of the fraction
to make the denominator of (4/7) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 6 and we get (24/42)
to make the denominator of (3/6) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 7 and we get (21/42)
these two numbers now have the same denominator so we subtract them
24/42 - 21/42 = 3/42 which simplifies to 1/14
9. since these fractions already have a common denominator, we will make them mixed fractions
-5(2/7) as a mixed fraction. first multiply 5*7 which is 35. now add 2 which is 37. our mixed fraction is -37/7
-1(5/7) as a mixed fraction. multiple 1*7 which is 7. now add 5 which is 12. our mixed fraction is -12/7
now subtract (-37/7) - (12/7) and we get -49/7 which simplifies to -7
Total meat in the recipe he wants to use = 7 pounds
Beef : pork = 3 : 1
Total pork that he will use =
x 7 pounds
= 7/4 pounds

Answer:
mean=134.3
median=65.5
mode=60
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean is computing by adding the all data values and then divided by number of values
mean=sum of all values/number of values
There are 20 data values.
mean=(88+50+66+60+360+55+500+71+41+350+60+50+250+45+45+125+235+65+60+110)/20
mean=2686/20
mean=134.3
For calculating median we arrange the data in ascending order
41 45 45 50 50 55 60 60 60 65 66 71 88 110 125 235 250 350 360 500
n/2=20/2=10 is an integer
So, the median is the average of n/2 and (n/2)+1 value
The median is average of 10th and 11th value
median=(65+66)/2
median=65.5
Mode is the most repeated value and we see that number of times the values are repeated are
45= 2 times
50= 2 times
60= 3 times
Thus, the most repeated value is 60 and it is the mode of data.
Mode=60
25x=65
We divide 25 to cancel it out.
65/25=2.6
I would assume 3, because 2.6 is 3 when rounded up.

Answer:
$1,080
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we can make a proportion
14 lessons are $210 and 72 lessons are $x
14/210=72/x
Cross multiply
14*x=210*72
14x=15120
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 14, divide both sides by 14.
14x/14=15120/14
x=1080
So, 72 lessons will cost $1,080
