Answer:9/4
Step-by-step explanation:multiply 2.25 by 100 so you get 225/100 and reduce
Lets take this problem as 25/8 - 15/8. This is both the fractions in improper form. Subtract 25 and 15 and divide the answer by 8 so 10 divided by 8 which is equal to 1 1/4
3a. Jackson's gross pay for 40 hours is
(40 h)×($12.20/h) = $488.00
3b. An equation for Jackson's pay could be
372.10 = h×12.20
This can be solved for h by dividing by 12.20
372.10/12.20 = h = 30.5
Jackson worked 30.5 hours last week.
3c. The total of hours shown is
(8) + (7 1/4) + (8 1/2) = (8 +7 +8) +(0.25 +0.50) = 23.75
The number of hours missing is the difference between this number and the hours found in part (b).
30.50 - 23.75 = 6.75
There are 6 3/4 hours missing from Jackson's time sheet for last week. This is less than a full day's work, so seems reasonable.
_____
Of course, you know the decimal - fraction conversions:
1/4 = 0.25
1/2 = 0.50
3/4 = 0.75
There is 7,000 female students, and 5,000 male students. Because, if there was 2,000 more female students then male, you have to find out what two numbers add up to 12,000. (Tip, to make it easier, take away the thousands, like 7+5)
