You would first have to find common denominators for the fractions. In this case it would be 10. So your new equation would be 3 5/10 - 2 4/10. Once you do this you can then subtract and solve getting the answer of 1 1/10

Which expression is equivalent to 1/8x- 1/2?

pychu [463]

This is done by factoring. 1/8 is smaller than 1/2, so we can factor a 1/8 out of 1/2. This is what that looks like: $\frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{ \frac{1}{8} }$ , because factoring after all is a form of division. When we divide a fraction by a fraction, we bring the lower fraction up and flip it to multiply, giving us this: $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{8}{1}$ . This of course reduces to 4. So when we factor out 1/8, what we will have then is $\frac{1}{8} (x-4)$ , choice D from above.

The differences between arithmetic and geometric sequences is that arithmetic sequences follow terms by adding, while geometric sequences follow terms by multiplying. The similarities between arithmetic and geometric sequences is that they both follow a certain term pattern that can't be broken. There you go
