What’s the calculation of the equation 5/8-1/4=

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago

Answer: 3/8

Explanation: To subtract unlike fractions such as 5/8 - 1/4, first find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 4 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 4 which is 8.

Notice that our first fraction already has 8 in the denominator so it stays the same. To get 8 in the denominator of 1/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/8.

Now we have 5/8 - 2/8.

To subtract like fractions, we simply subtract the numerators to get 3 and keep our denominator of 8 and we have 3/8.

Since 3/8 is in lowest terms, it's our final answer.

Therefore, 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8.

<h2>Emily: 72 marbles</h2><h2>Asif: 8 marbles</h2>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

first lets find in how many shares is the total amount of marbles divided into:

7+1=8

now, lets find how many marbles are in each share:

64/8=8

now that we know that each share of marbles contains 8 marbles, we can find how many each child got:

Emily got 7 shares: 8*7= 72 marbles

Asif got 1 share: 8*1= 8 marbles

If f(x) = 3x2, what is the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the graphs of y = f(x) and y = f(x − 4)?
Minchanka [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x) = f(x - 4), 3x² = 3(x - 4)².

=> x² = (x - 4)², x = -(x - 4), 2x = 4, x = 2.

The x-value is 2.

If f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 2x2 + 1, what is the value of (f × g)(-3)?
Softa [21]

f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 2x^2 + 1

(f × g)(x) =  (5x − 1)(2x^2 + 1)

(f × g)(x) = 10x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 1

Substitute x = - 3

(f × g)(-3) = 10(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 + 5(-3) - 1

(f × g)(-3) = 10(-27) - 2(9) -15 - 1

(f × g)(-3) =-270 - 18 - 16

(f × g)(-3) = -236

Answer

- 236
