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! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because \: ( {a}^{m} )^{n} = {a}^{m \times n} \\ \\ \therefore ( {9}^{3} )^{3} = {9}^{3 \times 3} = {9}^{9} \\$

HELP what is 5.476 rounded to hundreths and how do you round the numbers GIVING 12 POINTS

Bond [772]

Hundredths are the second number after the decimal, which is the 7. The number, 5.476, rounded is 5.48. You round numbers by looking at the number after what place you want to round by. For example, if I had 5.28 and wanted to round it to the nearest tenths, I would look at the number after 2, which is 8. If the number is 5 or higher and one to the place you need to the round. If it’s 4 or lower, just take away the numbers after the place you need to round, so it would be 5.3. However, if it was 5.23 and I wanted to round it to the tenths, I would just take away the three, making it 5.2
