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.

Transversal cuts parallel lines and at points X and Y respectively. The point nearest to C is X, and the point nearest to D is Y
hammer [34]

Answer:  The answer is (B) ∠SYD.


Step-by-step explanation: As mentioned in the question, two parallel lines PQ and RS are drawn in the attached figure. The transversal CD cut the lines PQ and RS at the points X and Y respectively.

We are given four angles, out of which one should be chosen which is congruent to ∠CXP.

The angles lying on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines are called alternate exterior angles.

For example, in the figure attached, ∠CXP, ∠SYD and ∠CXQ, ∠RYD are pairs of alternate exterior angles.

Now, the theorem of alternate exterior angles states that if the two lines are parallel having a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent to each other.

Thus, we have

∠CXP ≅ ∠SYD.

So, option (B) is correct.
