Mathematics
1 answer:
romanna [79]2 years ago

let's first off  convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions, then get their difference.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+1}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{21}{10}-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(1)21-(5)3}{10}}\implies \cfrac{21-15}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}

now, the original amount, 3/2, if that is the 100%, what is 3/5 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{3}{2}&100\\\\ \frac{3}{5}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{3}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 5x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies x=40

Solve the formula for the indicated variable.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: b = p - a -c  

Step-by-step explanation:

p= a + b + c  Solving for b means getting b on one side by itself.

p = a + b + c    To solve for b first subtract a from both sides to get,

-b         -b

p - a =  b + c   Now subtract  c from both sides   to get

-c              -c

p - a - c = b

b = p - a -c
