3/4 + 2/3 = 17/12
7/8 - 2/3 = 5/24
3/5 x 1/3 = 1/5
4/7 x 2/3 = 8/21
Answer:
They can buy up to 240 drinks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of drinks
The price of 1 drink is 75¢ = $0.75
The price of x drinks is 0.75x
The store gives a discount of $100.
The rice of x drinks is
0.75x - 100
The total price of the drinks must be less than or equal to $80.
0.75x - 100 ≤ 80
Add 100 to both sides.
0.75x ≤ 180
Divide both sides by 0.75
x ≤ 240
Answer: They can buy up to 240 drinks.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The key is finding a common # on the bottom (aka: a common 'denominator')
once you do this, you can easily add and subtract them!
Step-by-step explanation:
EX:
1/2 + 2/3 = ?
<u>*EASIEST TRICK!!*</u>
take your 2nd denominator: (3) and multiply it by the entire (1st fraction): 1/2
<em>(when we MULTIPLY fractions, it is easy as pie, we can just multiply across the top and across the bottom) in this case, we will multiply both top and bottom by the 2nd denominator (3)</em>
(1 x 3)/(2 x 3) = 3/6 <em>(3/6 is another way of saying 1/2, so we're good!)</em>
now take the 1st denominator (2), and multiply the entire 2nd fraction by that:
(2 x 2)/(3 x 2) = 4/6
<em>now we have 6 on the bottom of both! time for the magic:</em>
3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6
but wait! (that means we have 7 slices of a 6-piece pie! ...so we <em>actually </em>have, 1 full (6-piece pie) and 1 slice leftover! <em>(awww yeeea)</em>
<em>so, 7/6</em><em> --> </em><em>1 </em><em>(full pie) </em><em>1/6 </em><em>(leftover!)</em>
<u><em>now to put it all back together:</em></u>
1/2 + 2/3 = 1 & 1/6
