-7 1/8 + 9 1/2

Our answer is 2 3/8 or 19/8

Rewriting our equation with parts separated:

=<span> −7 −<span> 1/8 </span>+ 9 + <span>1/2

</span></span>Solving the whole number parts:
<span>
−7 + 9 = 2
</span><span>
Solving the fraction parts:
<span>−<span>1/8</span> +<span> 1/2</span> = ?

</span></span>
<span><span>Find the LCD of 1/8 and 1/2 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.
LCD = 8
<span>
−<span>1/8 </span>+ <span>4/8 </span>= <span>3/8</span></span></span>
</span>
Combining the whole and fraction parts:
<span><span>2 +<span> 3/8</span> = 2 <span>3/8 or if you simplify it, it will equal 19/8

Hope I helped ; )</span></span></span>

Erin created a scale drawing for a garden that will be 10 ft by 5 ft. She plans to include a section in the garden for herbs, wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the garden in the actual are 10 ft by 5 ft

The dimensions of the garden on the scale drawing are 12 in. by 6 in

step 1

Find the scale factor

To find the scale factor divide the corresponding side on the scale drawing by the corresponding side in the actual

so

\frac{12}{10}\ \frac{in}{ft}

simplify

1.2\ \frac{in}{ft}

That means

1.2 inches in the drawing represent 1 foot in the actual

step 2

Find out  the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing

we know that

The dimensions of the herb garden in the actual are 2 ft by 5 ft

Multiply by the scale factor

so

2\ ft=2(1.2)=2.4\ in

5\ ft=5(1.2)=6\ in

therefore

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in

Hey! I'v been struggling with this question lately. Can someone just lend me a hand?
Dominik [7]
So, this problem is asking us to find the value of our variable u. 

How can you do this? By isolating the variable, or having only it on one side of the equals sign. 

Here's the step by step approach. It's just simple algebra and reverse order of operation (which is what you should do whenever you are solving for a variable).

\frac{u+88}{11} = 17

Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 11 denominator.
u + 88 = 187

Then, subtract both sides by 88 to get u by itself.
u = 99

Therefore, u is equal to 99.
