12/16 - 7/18 in simplest form​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivan3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is \frac{13}{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is:

\frac{a}{b} -  \frac{c}{d}  =  \frac{ad - bc}{bd}

In this case :

\frac{12}{16}  - \frac{7}{18} =  \frac{12 x 18 - 16x17}{16x18} = \frac{216 -112 }{288} = \frac{104}{288}

To get the simples form notice both 104 and 288 are divisible by 8 and 104/8 = 13 and 288/8 = 36.

Thus \frac{104}{288} = \frac{13}{36}

A boy had a packet of 320 candies with 2 different flavours. 7/16 were orange flavour and the rest were lemon. He gave his frien
MrRa [10]

30 lemon candies he give his friend.

It is given that a boy had 320 candies. There were 2 flavors. 7/16 were orange flavor and the rest were lemon. He gave his friend 30 orange candies and some lemon ones.

320 (7/16)  =   140  were orange

320 - 140  =  180  were lemon

Let x be the number of lemon ones he gave  away

So,

[ 140 - 30 ]  / [ 180 - x ] =  11/15

110  =  (11/15) ( 180 - x )

(15/11) (110)  = 180 - x

150  = 180  - x

x = 180  - 150  =   30

11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1 
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2

12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
                      4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14

13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5

14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10 
                  ⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒  y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2

15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
               ⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6
