Answer:
<u>37/8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
we are going to create 5 1/2 into an improper fraction for now, so it is easier to manipulate.
5 1/2 = 11/10
in order to find the answer, we need to set them both to a common denominator(we need to make sure they have the same denominator so it is easier to subtract)
11/2 if we just take 1 of the cups that Abby made and subtract that by 7/8 that give us the answer
11/2 - 1 = 9/2
we will now us the cup we subtracted from that and "give it to the kids"
1 = 8/8
so
8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
so we have 1/8 leftover from that cup, so we can add that back
since 1/8 is a hard number to just add off the top of your head, we can just change the denominator of 9/2 into 8 instead of 2:
9/2 = 36/8
so
1/8 + 36/8 = 37/8
so since 37/8 cannot be simplified anymore, the answer is
<u>37/8</u>
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
819
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Formula
Sum = a(1 - r^n) / ( 1 - r)
Sum = -1(1 - (-4)^6 / (1 - -4)
Sum = -1 (1 - 4096) / 5
Sum = -1 (- 4095 ) / 5
Sum = 819
It would be 6n because 2times 3 is 6 and bring down the n
Answer:
1/12 (or 0.833)
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the definition of "slope" is the change in vertical distance divided by the change in the horizontal distance. (aka. rise ÷ run)
it is given that rise = 50 feet and the horizontal distance (i.,e "run") = 600feet
hence slope = rise / run = 50 / 600 = 1/12 (or 0.833)
