Answer:
9 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy: first cancel the fraction part of the mixed number, then subtract the remaining fraction from the integer obtained.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = 10 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/4
= 10 -1/4
= 9 3/4
__
Strategy: turn the subtracted fraction into a whole number by adding 1/4 to both parts of the problem, then subtract the whole number.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = (10 1/2 +1/4) -(3/4 +1/4)
= 10 3/4 -1
= 9 3/4
_____
We assume that you know that 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4, or 3/4 -1/2 = 1/4. If you need to, you can get there by using the equivalent: 1/2 = 2/4.
Answer:
Slope form of line y = 4x +41
Step-by-step explanation:
m= 4
The y-intercept of the line that passes through the given point (-9,5) is
5 = 4(-9) + b
b= 5 +36
b=41
The equation of the line that passes through the given point (-9,5) is
y =mx +b
y = 4x +41
4:5
explanation-
Express the given ratios as fraction
4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3
Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3
The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.
Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have
4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15
Clearly, 12 > 10
Now, 12/15 > 10/15
Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.
