Do a proportion
First change 1/5 into a whole number first.Which is 1/5 times 60=12
Now do a proportion
14/12=x/60
12x=840
x=70
Simone can peel 70 potatoes in a hour.

A grid model with 100 squares. 73 squares are shaded. What percent of the model is shaded? What is the equivalent ratio? What is

viva [34]

Answer:

73%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you'll divide the total squares by 100 to get how much is one percent. Then, you divide the shaded squares by the value of 1%. And you'll get how many percents are shaded.

For equivalent decimal, you divide the number by 100.

Then for equivalent decimal, you get the percent and 100.

$p =100/100=1\\73/1=73\\=0.73\\=\frac{73}{100}$

FIND (-8/3)+(-1/4)+(-11/6)+3/8-3

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

-7 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24; converting all of our fractions to that denominator and solving, we have

$-\frac{8}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)+\left(-\frac{11}{6}\right)+\frac{3}{8}-3\\=-\frac{64}{24}+\left(-\frac{6}{24}\right)+\left(-\frac{44}{24}\right)+\frac{9}{24}-3\\\\=\frac{-64+(-6)+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-70+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-114+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-105}{24}-3 \\\\=\frac{-35}{8}-3\\ \\=-4\frac{3}{8}-3\\\\=-7\frac{3}{8}$

So our solution is -7 3/8
