Answer:
The Rockets' team has the better record.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The Blazers hockey team has played 12 games but they won only 7 out of the 12 games, so that means that they loss the other 5 games. So that makes the Blazers record 7 wins and 5 losses.
- The Rockets' team has played 8 games but they won only 5 out of the 8 games, so that means that they loss the other 3 games. So that makes the Rockets' record 5 wins and 3 losses.
- So, the Rockets' team has the better record because they loss less games than the Blazers team did.
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
B. 3. Because if you have two people rolling a six sided die, with odd and even number contributions, you would divide 6 by 2. This is because there are TWO people going for TWO different types of numbers, odd and even. 6/2 gives us 3.
Hope this helps :)
Assuming LCD means Lowest Common Denominator
Assuming by "and" you mean adding the two
Well, you go by the multiples of 7;
7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63,<u> 70</u>
Multiples of 10;
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, <u>70</u>, 80, 90, 100
Straight away you can see the lowest common multiple is 70,
Now to go about adding them,
2/7 * 10 (both sides) , 20/70
9/10 * 7 (both sides) , 63/70
Then you add the two; 20/70 + 63/70 - now we can add them because they share the same denominator
20/70 + 63/70 = 83/70 = 1 whole 13/70 (simplified)
<u>The LCD is 70
Quick tip, </u>to find a common multiple (not necessarily the lowest) multiply the two denominators.
