To find the difference of 5 1/8 and 2 1/5 I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Therefore, I would have 41/8 - 11/5. Then, I would find a common denominator which would be 40. I would have 205/40 - 88/40 and I would end up with 117/40.

Can you please help me answer my question? I already asked it but it hasn't been answered. It is fro social studies: What were some accomplishments of Montezuma?

Rod is paid $85 to install a screen door and $115 to install a wooden door. In one week he installed 18 doors and was paid a tot

Rainbow [258]

Answer:Rod installed 7 screen doors

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the number of screen door = x

And the number of wooden doors = y

since he installed 18 doors , we have that

screen door + wooden doors = 18

x + y = 18------ equation 1

Also the cost to install a screen door -= $85

and to install a wooden door = $115

And he was therefore paid a total of $1850

Therefore

85x + 115 y = $1860------- equation 2

Step 2----- Solving

x + y = 18------ equation 1

85x + 115 y = $1860------- equation 2

Multiplying equation 1 BY 85

85x + 85y= 1530------- equation 3

85x + 115 y = $1860------- equation 4

subtracting from equation 1 from (2)

115y- 85y= 1860-1530

30y=330

y = 330/30 = 11

To find x

x+ y=18

x= 18-y

x= 18-11= 7

Rod installed 7 screen doors and 11 wooden doors.
