First convert 2 1/2 in to a improper fraction. To do so, multiply 2 by 2 and add 1 then put that answer above to. It should look like 5/2. Then to subtract both denominators must be the same. So multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/2 by 3 and get 15/6. Then do the same thing to 1/3 but with 2. It should look like 2/6. Now subtract. 15/6-2/6=13/6=2 1/6

2 and 1/2 (or 5/2) minus 1/3 equals 13/6 or 2 and 1/6

So, the answer is 13/6 OR 2 1/6

Jessica wants to give a 20% tip to a taxi driver. If the fare is $23.78, what amount did she tip the driver?

dedylja [7]

You should mulitply. $23.78 * 0.20 = 4.756

Then you add. 4.756 to $23.78 = $28.536

Now you round $28.536 to the hundredths so that you can pay it with coins.

The anwser is $4.76 and the total amount for the taxi ride would be $28.54

120 miles! 6 (inches) x 20 (miles per inch) = 120, and it is of course miles, not inches, so:
