Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be 3/4 because you have to multiply 1/3 by 3 to get a whole cup. Therefore, you have to multiply 1/4 by 3 also. In this case, the answer would be 3/4. Hope this helps!

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$ cups of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A recipe requires 1/4 cup of oil for every 2/3 cup of water.

To Find: How much oil (in cups) is needed per cup of water?

Solution:

Oil required by $\frac{2}{3}$ cup of water = $\frac{1}{4}$

Oil required by 1 cup of water = $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{2}{3}}$

= $\frac{3}{8}$

Hence $\frac{3}{8}$ cups of oil is needed for per cup of water.

Find the answer to 1/8 + 7/12

dangina [55]

Answer: 17/24

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 1/8 and 7/12 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.

The common denominator of 8 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 12 which is 24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 1/8, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/12, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which gives us 14/24. Now we're adding like fractions.

3/24 + 14/24

To add like fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.

So here, if we add the numerators we have 3 + 14 which gives us 17. We put this over our original denominator which is 24. So we have 17/24.

So 1/8 + 7/12 is 17/24.

Answer:

Given no. of persons owned laptop = 76

Total of no. of students owned + Total of no. of students dont have owned laptop given = 155

No. of students dont have laptops = 155 - 76 = 79

So then the total no. of no laptops = 79 + 17 = 96(ans)

15 and 25 least common multiple

If you want to add or subtract fractions :

1- make sure that the denominators of the fractions are equal. if they are not, then multiply each of them by a number so that they will be equal.

2- add or subtract the numerators.(if you already had multiplied the denominator of a fraction by a number, then you should multiply the numerator by the same number and do the adding or subtracting)

3- simplify it's possible

here are the answers :

$\frac{3}{7} + \frac{6}{11} = \frac{33 + 42}{77} = \frac{75}{77}$

$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 + 9}{12} = \frac{13}{12} = 1 \frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{4}{5} + \frac{3}{7} = \frac{28 + 15}{35} = \frac{43}{35} = 1 \frac{8}{35}$

$\frac{7}{12} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{14 - 3}{24} = \frac{11}{24}$

$\frac{9}{10} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{27 - 20}{30} = \frac{7}{30}$

good luck
