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

What is the Anwser if a divide 33 into 2 groups so the ratio is 4 to 7
Naddika [18.5K]
You have to solve this algebraicly.
To do this set up the proportion and add x to each term.
You get 4x and 7x
Set this equal to 33
4x+7x=33
Combine like terms and get 11x=33
Divide by 11
x=3
Now go back to 4x and 7x
Multiply them by x and get 12(4×3=12) and 21(7×3=21)
One group is 12 and the other is 21.

A piece of fabric is 1/3 yard by 3 5/8 yards. Irma solves 1/3⋅3 5/8 to find the area of the fabric in square yards. Enter number
Harlamova29_29 [7]

For this case we have:


The area of the piece of fabric is given by A = a * b


Where


a = \frac{1}{3}yards


b = 3 \frac{5}{8}yards


Substituting in the formula of the area we have:


A = \frac{1}{3}* 3 \frac{5}{8}\\

A = \frac{1}{3}* (3 + \frac{5}{8})\\

A = 1 + \frac{5}{24}


A = 1\frac{5}{24}yards ^ 2\\

Thus, the area of the piece of fabric is given by: A = 1\frac{5}{24}yards ^ 2\\

Answer:


A = 1\frac{5}{24}yards ^ 2\\
