You gave the answer right in your question
Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:
35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.
I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)
When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:
27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200
So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).
If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)
B is the correct answer because it is 11-5
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The missing term is 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - _
Required
Find _
For proper identification of the parameters, represent _ with Z
So, the equation becomes
-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z
Open bracket (start from the left hand side)
-x + 1 + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z
-x + 1 + 5 = 2x + 6 - Z
Solve like terms
-x + 6 = 2x + 6 - Z
Subtract 6 from both sides
-x + 6 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6 - Z
-x = 2x - Z
Subtract 2x from both sides
-x - 2x = 2x - 2x - Z
-3x = -Z
Multiply both sides by -1
-3x * -1 = -Z * -1
3x = Z
Reorder
Z = 3x
Hence, the missing term is 3x
The answer is 17 1/4 .Hope this helped.
