Subtract 3/5 from 1 2/3.

Re-write the problem as "subtract 3/5 from 5/3."

 5     3
--- - -----
 3      5

Note that the LCD here is (3)(5) = 15.
Multiply 5/3 by (15/15) and also multiply 3/5 by (15/15).  Your result should be 

     25          9
   -------  -  -----
      15        15

Subtracting, we get   16/15.  This is the answer.  The green peppers weighed 16/15 lb, or 1 1/15 lb, more than did the other peppers.

juin [17]

Answer:

13.9 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to answer this.  Folding the paper along its diagonal produces two triangles; each one has shorter side 8.5 in and longer side 11 in.  According to the Pyth. Thm., (8.5)^2 + 11^2 = 193.25, which results in the diagonal length √193.25, or approx. 13.9 in.

The ratio of girls to boys in 6th grade is 3:4. If there are 182 6th graders, how many are girls
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

78 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 3:4, so that means the total number of 182 can be divided into 7 parts. 182 divided by 7 is 26, so each part is 26. The ratio of girls is 3, so 3 times 26 is 78. You can check this by putting (3*26)/(4*26) simplifies to 78/104 to 3/4 which is the right ratio
