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.

One number is 6 less than 5 times the other number. Their sum is 60. Find the numbers.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The numbers are 11 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x = 5y - 6 </em> This is just the first sentence written as an equation.

<em>x + y = 60</em> This is just the second sentence written as an equation.

<em>5y - 6 + y = 60</em> Substitute x for what you know it is equal to

<em>6y - 6 = 60</em> Collect like terms

<em>6y = 66</em> Add 6 to each side

<em>y = 11</em> Divide each side by 6

<em>x = 5 × 11 - 6 </em> Substitute y for what you know it is

<em>x = 55 - 6</em> Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55

<em>x = 49</em> Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49

Need answers to the ones that i haven’t written anything for
Trava [24]

Answer:

domain - (-infinity,infinity)

range - (-infinity, 2]

axis of sym - x=-1

y int - (0,-1)

at what value (row 1) - (-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

domain is side to side, it never ends bc of the arrows

range is top to bottom, there is no bottom bc of the arrow, but it has a top at 2 (the value on the y axis)

the axis of sym is basically the line that runs through the vertex, it's where you could fold it in half and it would still match up
