What is 2/4 + 4/5 - 7/10 ? Please help

1 answer:

7 0

Make sure they have all common denominators
$\frac{2}{4} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{7}{10}$

$\frac{2}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{20}$

$\frac{4}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{16}{20}$

$\frac{7}{10} * \frac{2}{2} = \frac{14}{20}$

$\frac{10}{20} + \frac{16}{20} - \frac{14}{20}$

Add $\frac{10}{20} + \frac{16}{20} = \frac{26}{20}$
$\frac{26}{20} - \frac{14}{20} = \frac{12}{20}$

To simplify, you must find the largest common factor which 4
In $\frac{12}{20}$
12÷4=3 and 20÷4=5

The answer is $\frac{3}{5}$

Please help me :((!!!!

This seems like a concept you’re going to learn and use so I’ll do a problem per section and explain.

Well basically this is a concept: if it’s a negative exponent it’s just 1/number^exponent.

So for example:
#1. 1/(10)^2 = 10^-2

The standard notation:
#9: You know that 1/(10)^3 you could either put it in a calculator or realize that you take the number 1, and move the decimal to the left three times. 0.001 would be the answer.

Scientific notation:
combines these topics. Let’s take #17. 0.025. Scientific notation means you write it as a number multiplied by 10^? So let’s see how many places you can move the decimal to get a number without the zeros.

0.025 => move it two places to the right. So that’s 2.5. Now 2.5 multiplied by what 10^? Would give you 0.025? It would be 10^-2. So your answer would be 2.5 x 10^-2.

For all of these, use your knowledge of the power of tens and dividing by tens! ^^ you got this. Let me know if you need help after this explanation.

How can i show 5/8 is greater than 3/8

Serjik [45]

The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.

I have two other ways:

Way #1:

5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.

We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.

There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.

Way #2:

-- Get 2 friends to help you.

-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.

-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.

-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.

-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.

SHALL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER!! A 40% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with an 80% solution of fertilizer in order to get

sdas [7]

Answer:

20 gallons of the 40% solution, 60 gallons of the 80% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the gallons of the 40% solution, and y = the gallons of a 80% solution. The first thing we want to do here is to convert each percentage into decimal form - including the 70% solution mixture.

40% = 0.40,

80% = 0.80, respectively 70% = 0.70

As you can tell, 0.40 is associated with x gallons, 0.80 is associated with y gallons, and the mixture contains 0.70 $*$ 80 solution, as 0.70 is associated with 80. Therefore we can formulate the following expression,

0.40x + 0.80y = 0.70 $*$ 80

At the same time x + y = 80, as the solution ( mixture ) is present with 80 gallons. Isolating x, x = 80 - y. Let us plug that into our expression, solving for y, following by x gallons.

$0.40\left(\:80\:-\:y\:\right)\:+\:0.80y\:=\:0.70\:\cdot \:80$
