Ok, so 1 is a whole number.  1/5 is a fraction of 1.  So you want to subtract 1/5 from 1.  The number 1 is equal to 5/5.  So if you subtract 1/5 from 5/5 you are left with 4/5.  You do the same with the second one, just subtract 3/5 from 5/5 to get your answer.

What you want to do is convert the 1, a whole number into a fraction. Since the denominator is 5, 5/5 makes 1 whole. So your question now reads, 5/5 - 1/5.  Change any equation so that you have all common denominators 
The second problem the whole number is still 5/5. So the equation becomes 5/5 - 3/5.    With common denominators, it becomes a simple subtraction, 5 - 1  and 5 - 3  Hope it helped!

The bureau of labor statistics reported the consumer price index as 211.4 in december 2007, and 231.1 in december 2012. by what
Anvisha [2.4K]

The first step to determine the percentage of increase is to compute for the difference of consumer price index in value.

231.11 (consumer price index for 2012) – 211.4 (consumer price index for 2007) = 19.71 (increase)

To compute for the percentage of increase, you need to compare the increase to the consumer price index for 2007.

19.71/211.4 = 9.3% increase

It takes Natalie five hours to tar a roof. Imani can tar the same roof in ten hours. How long would it take them if they worked
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

C. 3.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the algebra work equation:

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{1}{t1} + \frac{1}{t2}, where tb is the time to work together, t1 is the time it takes one person, and t2 is the time it takes the other person

Plug in the values we know:

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10}

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{4}{20} + \frac{2}{20}

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{6}{20}

20 = 6tb

3.33 = tb

So, it would take them 3.33 hours when working together.
