WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2

5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators

5/7 - 1/2

Step one

Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions

Multiples of 7

7 x 1 = 7

7 x 2 = 14

7 x 3 = 21

Multiples of 2

2 x 1 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 6 = 12

2 x 7 = 14

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14

Step 2

The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.

14/7 = 2

14/2 = 7

5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14

= 3/14

Will give brainliest plzzzzz.Which statement justifies why ∠EBC measures 90°? Given: angles ABD and DBC are complementary Point
Anettt [7]

Answer:

he sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

In this problem we have that

m∠ABD and m∠DBC are complementary

so

m∠ABD + m∠DBC=90° -----> by complementary angles

and

(m∠ABD + m∠DBC)+m∠EBC=180° -----> by a linear pair

Find the measure of angle EBC

substitute the given values

(90°)+m∠EBC=180°

∠EBC=180°-90°=90°

Tema [17]
Selling 90 would reach her goal of $135 so she would need to sell 91 to exceed her goal 

135/1.5=90 so 91*1.5=136.5
