Step 1) You would need to convert your 2 fractions into equivalent numbers. In this case, the closet gcf (greatest common factor) is 12. So, 5/4 would convert to 15/12 and 2/3 converts to 8/12.
Step 2) You know have your decimals that are equivalent. All you have left now is to subtract. Take 15/12 and subtract 8/12 from it. You would now get 7/12 of a mile that is still needed to run.
Step 3) Usually, you would simplify your new fraction. In this case, our fraction doesn't simplify. It will stay 7/12 of a mile. For example, If our number had ended up being 4/12, then we would simplify it to 1/3 of a mile. Because, 4 divided by 4 is 1 and 12 divided by 4 is 3. You can't simplify your answer anymore.
Hope this helped!
Ok so you could use the equation h=t divided by w.
h represents the hours volunteered in one week.
t represents the amount of hours volunteered in the original amount of weeks.
w represents the original amount of weeks.
When you plug In the numbers you get h=72 divided by 12 which gives you h=6 so Penn volunteered 6 hours in one week.
You know the answer is reasonable because there are 168 hours in a week, so Penn could easily spend 6 hours a week volunteering.
Sorry if my explanation is confusing, but I tried to help. Good luck :)
The answer is 150 over 100 hope this helps
Hi,
Let Sydney's age be x.
Devaughn=(x-15)
x+(x-15)=37
x+x-15=37
2x-15=37
2x=37+15
2x=52
x=52/2
x=26
Sydney is 26 years old.
Hope this Helps you.
