One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result: 2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.
The LCD is (5)(9)=45. Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.
Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is 2 13/45.
You could also do this problem by converting 7 8/9 and 5 3/5 into improper fractions:
71/9 - 28/5. Again, the LCD is 45. Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?
The measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees and the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees
<h3>How to solve for angle A?</h3>
Start by solving the acute part of angle A using the following sine function
sin(Ax) = (30 - 4)/32
Evaluate the quotient
sin(Ax) = 0.8125
Take the arc sin of both sides
Ax = 54.3
The measure of angle A is then calculated as:
A = 90 + Ax
This gives
A = 90 + 54.3
Evaluate
A = 144.3
Hence, the measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees
<h3>The angle to cut the molding</h3>
In (a), we have:
Ax = 54.3
This represents the angle where the molding would be cut
Hence, the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees

The answer is negative three halves minus one fifth
5/3 is as simplified as it gets :)
Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The question talks about;
- A rectangular flower bed whose dimensions are 12 ft by 9 ft
We are required to determine the length of the diagonal
To answer the question, we need to know the following;
- All the angles in a rectangle are right angles
- A diagonal divides a rectangle into two right-angled triangles
- The dimensions of the rectangle acts as the legs of right angled triangle.
Therefore;
Using Pythagoras theorem;
a² + b² = c²
Where, c is the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal)
a and b are the shorter sides of the right-angled triangle
Therefore;
c² = 12² + 9²
c² = 144 + 81
= 225
c = √225
= 15
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is 15 feet
