So lets solve this!

Quarts of water 1st container holds= 17/8

Quarts of water 2nd container holds= 5 3/4

Quarts of water does the second container holds than the first container=?

First of all we need to change 5 3/4 into an improper fraction

5 3/4= 23/4

Secondly, we need to find the LCM of 17/8 and 23/4

LCM:

17/8= 51/24

23/4= 138/24

So now we have got both of the LCM's 

Quarts of second container holds the first container= 23/4 - 138/24=87/24

Your answer is 87/24

Hope this Helps!

Answer:

0.46=\frac{23}{50}

Step-by-step explanation:

To write any decimal as a fraction you divide by 1 and multiply by a number (ranging from 10, 100, 1000 etc.) that will make 0.46 a whole number, this will explain:

Let x = \frac{0.46}{1}

10x = 10*\frac{0.46}{1} =\frac{4.6}{10}

100x = 100*\frac{0.46}{1}=\frac{46}{100} this is our perfect fraction, now we simplify later

100x - 10x = \frac{46}{100} -\frac{4.6}{10}

90x = \frac{46}{100} -\frac{4.6}{10} =0  this is to confirm both fractions are equal

x is the same as \frac{0.46}{1} as \frac{4.6}{10} as \frac{46}{100} but here x = \frac{46}{100} because a fraction has to have no decimals.

So  0.46 is equal any of these values, as a fraction, on the other hand, it's improperly equal to \frac{46}{100} = \frac{23}{50} here I divided by 2 to bring down the proper fraction. (fraction at its simplest form)

A farmer has 64 feet of fence to enclose a rectangular vegetable garden. which dimensions would result in the biggest area for t
Blababa [14]
The dimensions that would result to maximum area will be found as follows:
let the length be x, the width will be 32-x
thus the area will be given by:
P(x)=x(32-x)=32x-x²
At maximum area:
dP'(x)=0
from the expression:
P'(x)=32-2x=0
solving for x
32=2x
x=16 inches
thus the dimensions that will result in maximum are is length=16 inches and width=16 inches
