What is 5/7 minus 1/2 equal to in like units

Mathematics
1 answer:
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

find the measure of the arc or angle indicated. assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the property of alternate segment theorem,

"Angle formed between the tangent and the chord in a circle measures the half of the measure of the intercepted arc"

m(∠EFG) = \frac{1}{2} × m(minor arc FG)

minor arc FG = 2m(∠EFG)

                      = 2(76°)

                      = 152°

Therefore, Option (1) will be the correct option.

Rom4ik [11]
Answer: 104$

Explanation:

She is paid 7$ for each of the first 7 demo

And she is paid 11$ for each demo over the 7 demo

But she did 12 demo, which mean the first 7 demo she got paid 7$ each and for the last 5 demo she got paid 11$ for each demo.

(7 • 7) + (11 • 5)
= 49 + 55
= 104$
