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

Answer:

9) y = -200x + 1200

11) slope = -2

15) $2,450

16) 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

9) Given the two points from the graph:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, 1200)

(x₂, y₂) =  (1, 1000)

Substitute these values into the following slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (1000 - 1200)/(1 - 0)

m = -200/1

m = -200

The slope of the line is -200.

Next, we need to determine the y-intercept, which is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis. Upon observing the graph, it shows that the line crosses at point (0, 1200). The y-coordinate of this ordered pair is the value of the y-intercept, b = 1200.

Therefore, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is y = -200x + 1200.

<h3>11) Given the points, (5, -18) and (-4, 0): </h3>

Let (x₁, y₁) =(5, -18)

(x₂, y₂) =  (-4, 0)

Substitute these values into the following <u>slope formula</u>:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = \frac{0 - (-18)}{-4 - 5} = \frac{0 + 18}{-9} = -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2.

<h3>15) Solve:</h3>

Given the fixed fee of $200, and the $150 per hour after the initial meeting:

We can represent these in slope-intercept form:

y = 150x + 200

y = total cost for the Attorney's services

x = number of hours worked.

The y-intercept in this given problem is $200, which represents the flat fee charged for the initial meeting. While the slope in this equation is $150, which is the hourly rate that an Attorney charges his clients after the initial meeting.

If an Attorney works for 15 hours, then:

Let x = 15, and substitute its value into the equation to find the total cost:

y = 150x + 200

y = 150(15) + 200

y = 2,250 + 200

y = 2,450

Therefore, a client will pay a total of $2,450 for an Attorney's 15 hours of work.

<h3>16) Solve: </h3>

Given the water level on a Lake of 165 inches after a rainstorm, and the water level's receding rate of 3 inches per day:

We can establish the following linear equation to model this given problem:

L = -3d + 165

Where:

L = represents the water level of the Lake

d = number of days that the water level recedes

In order to find the number of days it will take before the water level recedes to 84 inches:

Substitute the value of L = 84 into the equation:

L = -3d + 165

84 = -3d + 165

Subtract 165 from both sides:

84 - 165 = 3d + 165 - 165

-27 = -3d

Divide both sides by  -3:

\frac{-27}{-3} = \frac{-3d}{-3}

9 = d

Therefore, it will take 9 days for the water level to be at 84 inches.
