Answer to question:
inverse property
“Staying the same”
adding a number to itself results in a sum of zero
Answer:
1. -29/156 2. 38/45 3. 29/45 4. 113/24 or about 4.7 5. 457/1, 914/2, 1371/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/13 - 5/12 can be simplified to 36/156 - 65/156. Subtract this and you get -29/156
4/9 + 2/5 can be simplified to 20/45 + 18/45. Add this and you get
38/45
5/8 - 2/9 can be simplified to 45/72 - 16/72. Subtract this and you get
29/45
3 1/2 + 2 5/12 can be first made irrational to 7/2 + 29/24. This can be simplified to 84/24 + 29/24
113/24 or about 4.7
Not sure about the 457, but to convert it, you multiply it by whatever denominator you have. For example
1x457 = 457/1
2x457 = 914/2
And finally 3x457 = 1371/3
Answer:
m*p/n = percent
Step-by-step explanation:
m% of n is what percent of p?
We can use ratios
m percent
------- = ---------------
n p
Using cross products
m*p = n * percent
Divide each side by n
m*p/n = percent
Let's review the terminology. A product is what you get when you multiply two numbers. So, the product of 5 and 2 is basically "5*2," and the product of 5 and 1 is "5*1."
The difference means when you subtract one from the other. So, the difference of 5*2 and 5*1 means "(5*2)-(5*1)". (Note: I put in parentheses to make sure the reader understands that 5*2 is separate from 5*1. 5*2-5*1 is confusing: you might not know what to do first!)
So, "(5*2)-(5*1)" can be your answer, OR you can simplify it further by actually doing the multiplication: "10-5". If you want the answer, just subtract--the expression is equal to 5.
Answer: "<span>(5*2)-(5*1)" OR "10-5" OR "5"</span>
