What 2/3 - 5/8 equal

Biology
1 answer:
goblinko [34]3 years ago
3 0

To subtract fractions, you first need to make sure the denominators are the same.  To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.  The LCM is the smallest number that both numbers can be multiplied to.  In this question, the LCM is 24 because 3x8=24 and 8x3=24.  Using this information, multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the number that will make the denominator equal to 24.

\frac{2}{3} *\frac{8}{8}= \frac{16}{24}

\frac{5}{8} *\frac{3}{3} =\frac{15}{24}


Now, subtract the numerators.

16-15=1

The denominator stays the same.


The answer is 1/24.


Hope this helps!!

Mass in motion is also know as
puteri [66]

This property of massive bodies to resist changes in their state of motion is sometimes called inertia. The Second Law of Motion describes what happens to a massive body when it is acted upon by an external force.

Newton was one of the most influential scientists of all time. His ideas became the basis for modern physics. He built upon ideas put forth from the works of previous scientists including Galileo and Aristotle and was able to prove some ideas that had only been theories in the past. He studied optics, astronomy and math — he invented calculus. (German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz is also credited with developing it independently at about the same time.)

Newton is perhaps best known for his work in studying gravity and the motion of planets. Urged on by astronomer Edmond Halley after admitting he had lost his proof of elliptical orbits a few years prior, Newton published his laws in 1687, in his seminal work "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) in which he formalized the description of how massive bodies move under the influence of external forces.

In formulating his three laws, Newton simplified his treatment of massive bodies by considering them to be mathematical points with no size or rotation. This allowed him to ignore factors such as friction, air resistance, temperature, material properties, etc., and concentrate on phenomena that can be described solely in terms of mass, length and time. Consequently, the three laws cannot be used to describe precisely the behavior of large rigid or deformable objects; however, in many cases they provide suitably accurate approximations.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Ionic bonding

Explanation:

In ionic bonding, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. In the process of either losing or gaining negatively charged electrons, the reacting atoms form ions. The oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, which are the basis of the ionic bond.
