When multiplying fractions just multiply the numerator and denominators together, then simplify the fraction you get.
To solve the addition problem, first convert 2 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It should be 5/2. Now 3/8 and 5/2 must be added together.
To add these, they must have the same denominator. Let's give 5/2 a denominator of 8, so it matches 3/8.
To give 5/2 a denominator of 8, you are starting with a denominator of 2. 2 × 4 = 8, so you must multiply 5/2 by 4.
You should get 20/8. Now you have to add 20/8 and 3/8. The only thing you add is the numerator, so you should get 23/8 as a final answer.
For the subtraction problem, do these same steps to make the fractions you must subtract have the same denominator, then subtract only the numerator to get the answer. Once you solve the subtraction problem, text me what you got so I can check it for you. :)
Answer: 5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.
Answer:
(0.18 x 23.50) + 23.50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the percentage of 23.50 (equation in the parenthesis). 18% is equivalent to 0.18. Then, you add that to 23.50. That's the total amount Sam should pay. I hope this makes sense.
