Hi there!

Question 1:

For this, we are taking away 1/4 yards of spring from 7/8 yards. This is essentially just subtracting 1/4 from 7/8. This then gives us the equation:

\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{4}

Now, to subtract these, we want to make it so the denominators are the same, or the numbers on the lower half are the same. (One way to explain why this is true is: \frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{b}=a\frac{1}{b}-c\frac{1}{b}=(a-c)\frac{1}{b}=\frac{a-c}{b}). Now, to make it so the denominators are the same, we can multiply the second fraction, 1/4, by 2/2 as 2/2 is essentially 1, and multiplying by 1 will get the same result, just with a denominator switched in this case. Doing this, we get:

\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{2}{2}

\frac{7}{8}-\frac{2}{8}

Now, subtracting the numerators, we get:

\frac{5}{8} yards of string will remain.

Question 2:

For this, we are combining these two thicknesses, and thus we add 1/4 to 7/12. This gives us the equation:

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{12}

Now, we again want to make it so the denominators are the same. (Here's a similar proof but for addition this time: \frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{b}=a\frac{1}{b}+c\frac{1}{b}=(a+c)\frac{1}{b}=\frac{a+c}{b}). Now, to make the denominators the same, we can multiply the first fraction, 1/4, by 3/3 (also equivalent to 1). Doing this, we get:

\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{3}{3}+\frac{7}{12}

\frac{3}{12}+\frac{7}{12}

\frac{10}{12}, which is equivalent to (dividing both the top and the bottom by 2) \frac{5}{6} inches.

Hope this helps!

Help me i think it’s c
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Graph B

=====================================================

Explanation:

Point A appears to be at (2.5, -1)

If we shift 6 units to the left, then we subtract 6 from the x coordinate. So the new x coordinate is now 2.5-6 = -3.5

If we shift 4 units up, then we add 4 to the y coordinate to go from -1 to -1+4 = 3

Overall, the point A(2.5, -1) moves to A'(-3.5, 3)

Graph B is the answer because of this. The other points B and C will follow the same pattern as point A does.
