Answer:
a. 13/3
b. 3 3/4
d. 1 7/8
c. 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 4 1/3 given
4*3=12 multiply the whole numbers with the denominator
12+1 =13 add the numerator to the product
13/3 put sum over denominator
b. 15/4 given
15/4=3 with a remainder of 3 divide numerator by denominator
3 3/4 rewrite as mixed number
d. 15/8 given
15/8=1 with a remainder of 7 divide numerator by denominator
1 7/8 rewrite as mixed number
c. 3 1/2 given
3*2=6 multiply whole number by denominator
6+1=7 add numerator to product
7/2 put sum over denominator
He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
Q^2 - 125 = 0
q^2 = 125
q = +/- sqrt 125 = 11.18, -11.18
8:1 because it's just and 8 to a 1
