What is the value of the numerical expression 5/8-5/12(3-1/4)+2/3

1 answer:

3 0

Make bottom numbers same
find least common multipules of 8,12,4 and 3
8=2 times 2 times 2
12=2 times 2 times 3
4=2 times 2
3=3
lcm=2 times 2 times 2 times 3=24

5/8 times 3/3=15/24
5/12 times 2/2=10/24
3/1 times 24/24=72/24
1/4 times 6/6=6/24
2/3 times 8/8=16/24
we now have
15/24-10/24(72/24-6/24)+16/24
pemdas
simplify parenthasees first
72/24-6/24=66/24

now we have
15/24-10/24(66/24)+16/24
multiply
15/24-660/576+16/24
make same bottom number
15/24 times 24/24=360/576
16/24 times 24/24=384/576
360/576-660/576+384/576
84/576
7/48

answer is 7/48

Answer:

The probability of spinning red is $\frac{1}{3}$ , the probability of spinning a 1 is $\frac{1}{6}$ , the probability of spinning an odd number is $\frac{1}{2}$ , and the probability of spinning a 9 is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of 6 possible outcomes, you can use this in the following questions. There are 2 red tiles, so the probability of spinning red is $\frac{2}{6}$ or $\frac{1}{3}$ . Since there are only one 1 tile, the probability of spinning a 1 is $\frac{1}{6}$ . Since there are three odd numbers, the probability of spinning an odd number is $\frac{1}{2}$ . Since there are no 9 in the spinner, the probability of spinning a 9 is 0 or never.
