Well first you need to find the LCM (least common multiple) of 4 and 6 (the denominators) so that you can subtract them from each other.

4: 4,8,12,16,20
6: 6, 12, 18, 24
The LCM is 12.

Now we can subtract the two mixed numbers by turning them into improper fractions.

5 3/12 -> 27/12
3 10/12 -> 42/12

42-27=15

The fraction is 15/12, which simplifies into 1 1/4.

She cut off 1 1/4 feet of the board.

a positive number is 7 times another number if 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times th
Neko [114]

Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

<u>A positive number is 7 times another number:</u>

  • a = 7b

<u>If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:</u>

  • a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

<u>To solve this we substitute </u><u>a</u><u> with </u><u>7b</u><u> in the second equation:</u>

  • 7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3)               ⇒ multiplying both sides by 2
  • 14b + 6 = 5b + 15                    ⇒ collecting like terms
  • 14b - 5b = 15 - 6
  • 9b = 9
  • b = 1                                        ⇒ solved for b

<u>Then, finding a:</u>

  • a= 7b
  • a=7*1
  • a= 7                                        ⇒ solved for a

<u>So the numbers are</u> 7 and 1

Manny and Susan have an egg carton full of eggs to use for their science project.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/2 is a simple addition fraction problem.

You'd find the LCM (lowest common denominator) which is 6. First, we'll take 1/3 which the denominator becomes 6. You see one side has been basically multiplied by 2, so you'd do it to both sides, giving us 2/6. Next, we do the same thing with 1/2. 2 -> 6 1 -> 3. 3/6. So finally, we have 3/6 + 2/6, which is 5/6.
