Answer:

S usan will have 25% more books than Michael

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate how many books Susan has

x = Susan's books

50% = 50/100

x = 40 + 40 * 50/100

x = 40 + 20

x = 60

y = Michael's books

y = 40 + 8

y = 48

60 > 48

S usan will have more books than Michael

To know the percentage of more that susan will have we have to divide the quantity of susan's books by michael's

60/48 = 1.25

To find the percentage we multiply it by 100 and subtract 100

1.25 * 100 - 100 =

125 - 100 = 25%

a. It is rewritten as 15/4 + 4⅓

b. The fraction would be positive

c. The solution as a mixed fraction is: 8\frac{1}{12}

<h3>What is a Mixed Fraction?</h3>

A mixed fraction is a number that has a combination of a fraction part and a whole number. For example, 2⅓ is a mixed fraction.

Given the expression,  15 / 4 – (-4⅓), the steps below can be used to solve the fractional expression as a mixed fraction:

a. Rewrite as addition:

15/4 + 4⅓ [note, minus multiplied by minus = plus]

b. The answer would be positive because we are adding two positive fractions.

c. Solve as mixed fraction as shown below:

15/4 + 13/3

The common denominator of the two fractions is 12, thus:

= [3(15) + 4(13)]/12

= [45 + 52]/12

= 97/12

Express as mixed fraction:

97/12 = 8\frac{1}{12}
