Answer:

6 5/8 - 4 = 21

= 25

= 2.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 6 5

to a improper fraction: 6 5/8 = 6 5

= 6 · 8 + 5

= 48 + 5

= 53

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 6 by the denominator 8. Whole number 6 equally 6 * 8

= 48

b) Add the answer from previous step 48 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 48 + 5 = 53

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 53) over the denominator 8.

Six and five eighths is fifty-three eighths

Subtract: 53

- 4 = 53

- 4

= 53

- 4 · 8

1 · 8

= 53

- 32

= 53 - 32

= 21

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 1) = 8. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 1 = 8. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - fifty-three eighths minus four = twenty-one eighths.

A person is supposed to drink half a gallon of water every day.abby drank 15 small cups today if the capacity of the cup is 3.5

Yuki888 [10]

He needs to drink 3 cups MORE to meet his daily requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, as given in the question:

The total need for water = half a gallon = 0.5 gallon

1 gallon = 128 oz

So, 0.5 gallon = 128/2 = 64 oz

Now, the capacity of 1 cup = 3.5 oz

The number of cups already drank by the person = 15 cups

So, the total amount of water already taken by him

= 15 cups x Capacity of 1 cup

= 15 x (3.5 oz) = 52.5 oz

So, the amount of water left to be drink by him

= Total Need - Already covered

= 64 oz - 52 . 5 oz = 11.5 oz

Now, as 1 cup = 3.5 oz

So, 11.5 oz has $( \frac{11.5}{3.5} )$ cups = 3.28 cup≈ 3 cups

Hence, he needs to drink 3 cups MORE to meet his daily requirement.

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

To find the indicated angle, we can use one of the three main trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, or tangent.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the angle, we know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use cosine to solve.

cos(x) = 12/36

x = cos^-1(12/36)

x = 71 degrees

Hope this helps!
