Sam has 7/8 m of rope left.

  • The meter of rope Sam had is 1½ m
  • The meter of rope he cut for a project is 5/8 m
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

We are solving this question using BODMAS simply because it is a typical number problem that deals with fractions. To derive a solution, you have to subtract the meter of rope that Sam has from the meter of rope he cut for a project.  

Therefore,

1½ - 5/8,  

Since the meter of rope Sam had is represent with a mixed fraction, we have to convert it to an improper fraction, and therefore 1½ can also be written as 3/2

Therefore, we have

3/2 – 5/8

To solve this fraction, you need to find the smallest number that can divide the denominator (2 and 8), which is 8.  

Now divide the denominators with 8 and multiply the answers you get by the numerators.

Therefore, we have

3/2 -5/8

= 12/8 – 5/8

= 7/8 m.

Therefore, Sam has 7/8 m of rope left.

The smallest number used to divide the denominators is also known as the lowest common denominator (LCD).

A fraction has 2 parts, which are numerator and denominator. The numerator is the number at the top in a fraction while the denominator is the number below in a fraction.

Mom and Dad have four daughters, and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the family?
klemol [59]
I would would say 7.

Mom + Dad + daughter + daughter + daughter + daughter + plus one brother = 7

Since they are all sisters and it says each one has one brother I think that would mean 7. That's just my comprehension of the question, though I may 100% wrong.

Aryabhata, also called Aryabhata I or Aryabhata the Elder, (born 476, possibly Ashmaka or Kusumapura, India), astronomer and the earliest Indian mathematician whose work and history are available to modern scholars. He is also known as Aryabhata I or Aryabhata the Elder to distinguish him from a 10th-century Indian mathematician of the same name. He flourished in Kusumapura—near Patalipurta (Patna), then the capital of the Gupta dynasty—where he composed at least two works, Aryabhatiya (c. 499) and the now lost Aryabhatasiddhanta.

Aryabhatasiddhanta circulated mainly in the northwest of India and, through the Sāsānian dynasty (224–651) of Iran, had a profound influence on the development of Islamic astronomy. Its contents are preserved to some extent in the works of Varahamihira (flourished c. 550), Bhaskara I (flourished c. 629), Brahmagupta (598–c. 665), and others. It is one of the earliest astronomical works to assign the start of each day to midnight.

<h2>Mark as brainlist ❤️❤️</h2>

Aryabhatiya was particularly popular in South India, where numerous mathematicians over the ensuing millennium wrote commentaries. The work was written in verse couplets and deals with mathematics and astronomy. Following an introduction that contains astronomical tables and Aryabhata’s system of phonemic number notation in which numbers are represented by a consonant-vowel monosyllable, the work is divided into three sections: Ganita (“Mathematics”), Kala-kriya (“Time Calculations”), and Gola (“Sphere”).
