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

The measure of an angle is 63°.

Irina-Kira [14]

A complementary angle is an angle that adds up to 90 degree each and every time. So, therefore the correct formula to use is 90-63=27. Now, you have your answer and can check it twice if you'd like by the formula. Again your answer is 27.

Liam makes soap sculptures of sea turtles. Each sculpture weighs 3\8 pounds he ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds t

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

8 turtles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of Liam's sea turtle sculpture weighs 3\8 pounds and he ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds.

The weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.

This means that the weight of the sea turtles in the wooden box is:

5 - 2 = 3 pounds

To find the number of sea turtles in the box, we simply divide the total weight of the turtles in the box by the weight of each turtle. That is:

$\frac{3}{\frac{3}{8} }$ = 8 turtles

There are 8 turtles in the box.
