Answer:
16/49
Step-by-step explanation:
you have a numerator of four
4 times 4 = 16
and a denominator of 7
7 times 7 = 49
16/49
Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:
you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4
then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.
so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left
4/7 of his money = $48
1/7 of his money = $48 ÷ 4 = $12
7/7 of his money = $12 x 7 = $84
Answer: $84
The last number will either be 5 or 0. For example 15, or 20.
