Well, the first thing you would do is find like denominators for each fraction.
Since the smallest common term between the two is 40, that will be your denominator for each. Then you would multiply the numerator by the number your denominator was multiplied to get to 40. So, you would end up with 16/40 because 5*8=40 and 2*8=16 and 5/40 because 8*5=40 and 1*5=5.
After that, you would just subtract them.
16/40 - 5/40 = 11/40 and as a decimal that is 0.275. So, Joe has eaten 0.275 more pizza than Jane.
Hope this helps! :)
No idea what this is, sorry
Answer:
16/5 or 3 1/5 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
19. What you know is that HK+KJ = HJ. If HJ = 25, the sum of the two equations will equal this length.
x-5+5x-12=25 First, combine your like terms. You will end up with 6x-17=25. Add the opposite of -17 to both sides. 6x = 42 Divide both sides by 6. x = 7. Substitute x=7 for your original expression of x-5, 7-5=2
20. (5x-6)/2 = x+6 Multiply each side by 2. 5x-6 = 2x +12 Add 6 to each side 5x = 2x + 18 then subtract 2x from both sides as well. 3x = 18 Finally divide each side by 3. x=6 To find the length of the remaining segment, substitute this value into (5x-6)/2. This results in each side equaling a distance of 12.
21. On the number line, the distance of FG is 16 units. If the distance of FP is 1/4 of FG, you would simply divide 16 by 4. The distance of FP is 4 and P lies at 8 on your number line.
23. The distance of SP is x+4 and ST=4x. Since P is the midpoint, you only have one half of the line as x+4, if you were to double it, you would find that 2x+8 = 4x. Balance and solve for x, subtract 2x from both sides. 8=2x Divide each side by 4, 8/4 = 4x/4 resulting in x=2. If ST equals 4x, substitute and solve, 4(2) = 8
