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?
Answer:
-1 is the answer , your welcome haha
I think it maybe greater than becuase i looked at the y intercept and it was a two ok so then i looked for a slope of 3x but in the picture the slope is only 2x.
Moisture content should be the difference of the weight of the object wet (10 oz.) and the weight of the object when it was dry(8 oz.)
So,
10 oz. - 8 oz. =moisture content, or 2 oz.
