Find a common denominator to begin. The common denominator is the LCM of both denominators. In this case, the common denominator will be 24.
Now, multiply the numerator by the number you multiplied the denominator. For 2/3, you multiplied 3 by 8, so multiply 2 by 8 to get 16. The fraction is now 16/24. Multiply 4 by 3 since you multiplied 8 by 3 to get 24. You will get 12 and the fraction will become 12/24.
Then, compare. 16/24 is closer to 24/24, or one whole, so 16/24, or 2/3, is greater.
Answer:
55 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Add all the differences to the initial weight
55.75+2.125-3.25-0.5+0.875=55
Answer:
1. ≈ 12.85
2. 15
3. -38
4. 41 miles
5. 88
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following expression:
-x (7x + 2) + x ^ 2
Rewriting we have:
(-7x ^ 2 -2x) + x ^ 2
Adding similar terms we have:
-6x ^ 2 - 2x
Answer:
The simplified expression is given by:
-6x ^ 2 - 2x
He can round 0.85 up, because its over .50.
He can round 15.92 up, because it is also over .50.
16 + 1 = 17 is the estimate.
