Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
Answer:
10. 1/9
11. 1 1/6
12. 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
10.
He spent 2/3 of 1/6 of the day.
In math, "of" means multiplication, so 2/3 of 1/6 means 2/3 * 1/6.
2/3 * 1/6 = 2/18 = 1/9
He spent 1/9 of the day adding mulch.
11.
He spent 2/3 of 1 3/4 hours.
In math, "of" means multiplication, so 2/3 of 1 3/4 means 2/3 * 1 3/4.
2/3 * 1 3/4 = 2/3 * 7/4 = 14/12 = 7/6 = 1 1/6
He spent 1 1/6 hours working on the project.
12.
She planted 1/6 of 3/4 of the area.
In math, "of" means multiplication, so 1/6 of 3/4 means 1/6 * 3/4.
1/6 * 3/4 = 3/24 = 1/8
She planted carrots in 1/8 of the garden.
Answer:
Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.
It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.
We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.
Metal part = three-fourth of total weight =
Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.
Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.
75x + 90(15-x)=88(15)
75x+1350-90x = 1320
-15x + 1350 = 1320
-15x= -30
x=2
the amount of 75 octane is 2 gallons
the amount of 90 octane is 13 gallons
Hope this helps.
Answer:
<em>The least number of items to produce is 41</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Average Cost</u>
Given C(x) as the cost function to produce x items. The average cost is:
The cost function is:
And the average cost function is:
We are required to find the least number of items that can be produced so the average cost is less or equal to $21.
We set the inequality:
Multiplying by x:
Note we multiplied by x and did not flip the inequality sign because its value cannot be negative.
Adding 20x:
Swapping sides and changing the sign:
Dividing by 41:
The least number of items to produce is 41
