Answer:

1 26/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Before subtracting, you must find the common denominator.

The lowest number 7 and 5 can both make is 35.

Now, we must convert the fractions.

15/7 = 75/35

2/5= 14/35

Now because we have the same denominator, we can subtract.

75/35

-

14/35= 61/35.

61/35= 1 26/35.

Now you can simplify your answer. 1 26/35 cannot be simplified so that's your answer.

The triangles given below in the diagram are similar by; D: The SSS Similarity theorem.

<h3>How to interpret similar triangles?</h3>

From triangle similarity theorems, we know that;

If a segment is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then the triangle formed is similar to the original and the segment that divides the two sides it intersects is proportional.

Now, from the given diagram, we see the ratio of corresponding sides are congruent as;

45/30 = 54/36 = 36/24 = 1.5

Thus, the triangles are similar by SSS similarity theorem

DURING A REGULAR HALF-HOUR TV SHOW THERE ARE 8 MINUTES OF COMMERCIALS. IF EACH COMMERCIAL IS 0.25 MINUTES LONG HOW MANY COMMERCI
kirza4 [7]
Ok so there are 8 min of commercials and if each commercial is .25 minutes. what I did was 8 × 60 to get how many seconds there were. which = 480 and then I did .25 min × 60 and got 15 so I subtracted 15 from 480 and got 7.75
but it says how many commercials so you have to round to the full commercial and you get 8
so I think the answer is 8 or 7.75.
