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

Mathematics

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.

12/19*.............................= -12/19
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

\frac{12}{19} \times \underline{\bold{-1}} = -\frac{12}{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{12}{19} \times ..... = -\frac{12}{19}

= \frac{\frac{12}{19}}{-\frac{12}{19}}

= \frac{12}{19} \times -\frac{19}{12}

= -\frac{228}{228}

= \bold{-1}

So, the appropriate value to complete it is -1

Answer:

x≥4

Step-by-step explanation

24+4x≥40. Subtract 24 from both sides to get 4x≥16. Divide both sides by 4 to get x≥4.

An object is heated to 100°. It is left to cool in a room that
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Newton's Law of Cooling for this one.  It involves natural logs and being able to solve equations that require natural logs.  The formula is as follows:

T(t)=T_{1}+(T_{0}-T_{1})e^{kt} where

T(t) is the temp at time t

T₁ is the enviornmental temp

T₀ is the initial temp

k is the cooling constant which is different for everything, and

t is the time (here, it's in minutes)

If we are looking first for the temp after 20 minutes, we have to solve for the k value.  That's what we will do first, given the info that we have:

T(t) = 80

T₁ = 30

T₀ = 100

t = 5

k = ?

Filling in to solve for k:

80=30+(100-30)e^{5k} which simplifies to

50=70e^{5k} Divide both sides by 70 to get

\frac{50}{70}=e^{5k} and take the natural log of both sides:

ln(\frac{5}{7})=ln(e^{5k})

Since you're learning logs, I'm assuming that you know that a natural log and Euler's number, e, "undo" each other (just like taking the square root of something squared).  That gives us:

-.3364722366=5k

Divide both sides by 5 to get that

k = -.0672944473

Now that we have a value for k, we can sub that in to solve for T(20):

T(20)=30+(100-30)e^{-.0672944473(20)} which simplifies to

T(20)=30+70e^{-1.345888946}

On your calculator, raise e to that power and multiply that number by 70:

T(20)= 30 + 70(.260308205) and

T(20) = 30 + 18.22157435 so

T(20) = 48.2°

Now we can use that k value to find out when (time) the temp of the object cools to 35°:

T(t) = 35

T₁ = 30

T₀ = 100

k = -.0672944473

t = ?

35=30+100-30)e^{-.0672944473t} which simplifies to

5=70e^{-.0672944473t}

Now divide both sides by 70 and take the natural log of both sides:

ln(\frac{5}{70})=ln(e^{-.0672944473t}) which simplifies to

-2.63905733 = -.0672944473t

Divide to get

t = 39.2 minutes

Definition: The probability of an occurrence of a single event is called ___ probability.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A six sided die has 6 options, you can roll a 1,2,3,4,5,6. You cannot "remove" numbers and with a single die, you can't roll anymore than one number at a time. 2 is one option out of 6, therefore your answer is 1/6.
