Mathematics

aniked [119]3 years ago
3 0

To solve this problem, we first have to convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the unit (5) times the denominator (2) and then add the numerator (1) to the product, while still keeping the same denominator.


(5 * 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11/2


Now, this makes our expression: 11/2 - 2/3


Next, we have to find a common denominator for 2 and 3 by finding their shared LCM, or least common multiple. In this case, the LCM is 6. This means that we are going to convert both of the fractions in the expression into fractions with the denominator 6, so that we can easily compute the subtraction.


11 * 3 / 2 * 3 - 2 * 2 / 3 * 2


33/6 - 4/6


Now, we can simply subtract the numerators to find our final answer.


29/6


Your final answer is 29/6.


Hope this helps!

Find the volume of the rectangular prism.<br> 19 cm<br> 9 cm<br> 2 cm
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: 342 cm³

Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume of the rectangular prism, start with the formula for the volume or a prism.

Volume = length × width × height

Since we are not sure what the length, width, or height is in this problem, we can plug any of these numbers in for the length, width, or height. The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.

Volume = (19 cm) (9 cm) (2 cm)

Volume = 342 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 342 cm³.
