kolezko [41]
Here is the solution based on the given problem above:
2.5 euros = price of apples per kilo
1 euro = $1.34
$3.35 = price of apples per kilo
1 kilo = 2.2 pounds

What is the value expression to 3 1/4 - 1 7/8 =show how?
Andrei [34K]
3 1/4 - 1 7/8
First, subtract the whole numbers (3 - 1 = 2):           
= 2 1/4 - 7/8
Convert 1/4 to 2/8:
= 2 2/8 - 7/8
Borrow 1=8/8 from the 2:
= 1 10/8 - 7/8
Subtract 7/8 from 10/8:
= 1 3/8

The answer is 1 3/8

Alternatively, use improper fractions:
3 1/4 = 13/4 = 26/8
1 7/8 = 15/8
26/8 - 15/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8

Here is a quadratic equation x^2 + 5x = 14
x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0 - Subtract 14 from both sides
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 - Factor
x + 7 = 0      x - 2 = 0  - Set each factor equal to 0
x = -7           x = 2  - solve each piece

If the constant is easy to find factors of then use the factoring method
If the constant is difficult and you have a graphing calculator, then graph
If no graphing calculator then use the quadratic formula
