What is the difference between 126 1/4 an 78 2/3

1 answer:

8 0

1) find the lcd the lcd is 12
2)rewrite the fractions 1/4 and 2/3 using 12 as the denominator (second column) you get 3/12 and 8/12
3) since its confusing to subtract 8/12 from 3/12 you need to borrow one form the 126 doing so is the same as taking 12/12 from 126 this change to 125 and the 12/12 adds to the 3/12 making it 15/12
4) subtract 8/12 form 15/12 to get 7/12
5) subtract 78 form 125 to get 47
6) the answer is 47 7/12

ExtremeBDS [4]

Hey there,

By rounding 287.9412 to the nearest tenth, We look at the number in the tenth place which is 9. And by also looking at the number in the ones place which would be 4,we would round that back down to 0 because 4 is lower than 5 and what ever is lower, Go's down.

Your correct answer: 287.9

Answer: 1) 9 days

2) a)37.5%

b)50%

c) 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

1) - Let's call:

x: number of days the company supposed to finish the order.

- You know that the company had to produce 40 items daily, but it produced 20 items more daily and finished the order 3 days ahead of time. Therefore, you can express this as following:

$40x=(40+20)(x-3)\\40x=60(x-3)$

- Solve for $x$ :

$40x=60x-180\\-20x=-180\\x=9$

(The answer is 9 days)

2) a) The percent that belongs to three people if eight eight people share equally in an inheritance, can be calculated as following:

$\frac{3}{8}*100=37.5$ %

b) The percent that belongs to three people if six people share equally in an inheritance (because two of the people are disinherited) can be calculated as following:

$\frac{3}{6}*100=50$ %

c) - The increase goes from 1/8 to 1/6, therefore, you must subtract them:

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{24}=0.04167$

- Divide the result by 1/8 and multiply by 100 to obtain the percent:

$\frac{0.04167}{\frac{1}{8}}*100=33.33$ %
