Answer:
Hello,
16
Step-by-step explanation:





2 x 1 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
2 x 4 = 8
2 x 8 = 16
2/1 = 4/2 = 8/4 = 16/8 = 2
When adding or subtracting fractions that have a common denominator, simply subtract the numerators (top numbers) by each other. However, to subtract fractions with unlike denominators, find the LCD or "least common denominator". That is the lowest number both denominators can equate to.
![\frac{13}{18} - \frac{5}{8} [tex] (\frac{13}{18})( \frac{4}{1} ) - (\frac{5}{8})( \frac{9}{1}) ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B13%7D%7B18%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D%20%5Btex%5D%20%28%5Cfrac%7B13%7D%7B18%7D%29%28%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B1%7D%20%29%20-%20%28%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D%29%28%20%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B1%7D%29%20%20%0A)

The LCD of 8 and 18 is 72.
Some of the multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104...
The multiples of 18 are: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
The lowest common multiple is 72.
Multiply each fraction by what it takes for the denominator to equal 72.
8 multiplied by what number = 72
8*9=72
18 multiplied by what = 72
18*4=72
Multiply both fractions respectively
13/18*4= 13*4/72
5/8*9 = 5*9/72
52/72 - 45/72
Simplify
52-45/72
7/72
This being the answer for the original expression

Answer:
150 votes were casted
Step-by-step explanation:
So first, we know that Amy received 48 votes. Then Neil received 1/4 as many votes as Amy. So we can divide 48 by 4:
48/4=12
Neil got 12 votes. We also know that Neil and Amy's votes together is only 40% of the votes casted in total. So we can add their votes together and then find a fifth of the votes casted by dividing the 40% in half:
12+48=60
60/2=30
So now 30 votes are 20% of the total votes casted, now we just have to multiply by 5:
30*5=150
150 votes were casted
