Answer:

$\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gives 7 peaches to a 5th person.

Remaining peaches = 4

We need to find the original number of peaches in the basket.

The farmer gives the total number of peaches = $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7$

Let x be the former gives the total number of peaches

We multiply and divide by 120 in right side of the above equation because of 120 is divided by all given denominator and then simplify.

$x = \frac{120}{120}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(\frac{120}{3}+\frac{120}{4}+\frac{120}{5}+\frac{120}{8}+7\times 120)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(40+30+24+15+840)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(949)$

$x = \frac{949}{120}$

We add the remaining peaches by given peaches for the original number of peaches in the basket.

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949}{120}+4$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+4\times 120}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+480}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{1429}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $11\frac{109}{120}$

Therefore the original number of peaches in the basket is $\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Find the difference between8/15 and 2/3 Show all calculations in your final answer.

kherson [118]

Answer:

$\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of a number 'a' be = 8/15

Let the value of a number 'b' be = 2/3

The difference between the two numbers can be calculated by subtracting the numbers

$a-b=\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a$

$=\frac{8}{15}-\frac{-2}{3}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=\frac{8}{15}-\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a$

$=\frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{3}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{8+10}{15}$

$=\frac{18}{15}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:3$

$=\frac{6}{5}$

Thus,

$\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}$

Pls help me I'll give brainlest and points

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

O is the origin, so its abscissa is 0. O: 0

The only point 4 units from O is A, so A: 4

Point C has a positive abscissa like A.

Points B and C have opposite abscissas. The only opposites are -3 and 3, but C is positive, and B is negative.

B: -3

C: 3

D: -4.5

E: -6

M = (4 + (-6))/2 = -1. M: -1

b.

OB = |0 - (-3)| = |3| = 3

DA = |-4.5 - 4| = |-8.5| = 8.5

The variables x and y have a proportional relationship, and y= 2/5 when x = 5/8

Archy [21]

Answer:

B. 16/25 x is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

lets find the proportional relationship,

y = kx

2/5 = k * 5/8

k = (2/5) / (5/8)

k = 16/25

so if k, constant is 16/25
