So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
Me being a junior in high school and not knowing middle school math
It will be smaller than 1/4.
The reason being that 7/8 is a fraction which is less than 1, and that it can only be greater than 1/4 when the multiplying number, is a number which is greater than 1.
Note: When a positive number is multiplied by a number which is less than 1, it makes the positive number to be smaller and
When a positive number is multiplied by a number which is greater than 1, it makes the positive number to be bigger.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 cups in 1 pint.
Sara gets 2 * 7 = 14 cups
She pays 20 dollars.
Tatiana buys 15 1/2 cups for 20 dollars. In effect, Tatiana got 1.5 cups free, so she got the better deal.
