32 divided by 4/5=32*5/4/
simplify:8*5=40
there are 40 4/5 foot pieces in 32 feet
Yes, they both are 2/7
Proof: Left-hand side
Simplify the following:
12/42
The gcd of 12 and 42 is 6, so 12/42 = (6×2)/(6×7) = 6/6×2/7 = 2/7:
Answer: 2/7
Right-hand side:
Simplify the following:
10/35
The gcd of 10 and 35 is 5, so 10/35 = (5×2)/(5×7) = 5/5×2/7 = 2/7:
Answer: 2/7
You could do this in two ways, you could either subtract immediately or convert the time given in hours into minutes
STEP 1:
8:10
- 7:40
which will give 0:30
STEP 2:
8 hours 10 minutes into minutes is
(8 * 60) +10 = 490 minutes
7 hours 40 minutes into minutes is
(7*40) + 40 = 460 minutes
490 - 460
= 30minutes
So if 18 + x =43, then what you need to do is
18 + x =43
-18 -18
——————
x = 25
because whatever you do to one side, you need to do to the other
