What is the difference of 3 - 2 and 2/3?

1 answer:

3 0

3-2= Here you are taking away 2 from 3
2/3= Here you are taking that two and breaking it down into 3 smaller groups of numbers----Example: If you have 2 apples and you are serving 3 people, you will cut the apple into slices and distribute the slices evenly into 3 little ziploc bags.

Hope this helps.

A + b = 147....a = 147 - b
5.85a + 4.40b = 786

5.85(147 - b) + 4.40b = 786
859.95 - 5.85b + 4.40b = 786
-5.85b + 4.40b = 786 - 859.95
- 1.45b = -73.95
b = -73.95 / -1.45
b = 51 <== she used 51 lbs of type B coffee

At 10a.m. Juan leaves the city traveling north at 60 mi/hr. One hour later mel leaves the city traveling south at 50 mi/hr. At w

olasank [31]

-- At 11 AM, when Mel starts out, Juan has already covered 60 miles.

-- After that, since they're traveling in opposite directions, the distance
between them increases (60 + 50) = 110 miles every hour.

Let's call 'H' the number of hours after 11 AM.
Then the distance between them is

D = 110H + 60

When is this distance 830 miles ? Wouldn't you like to know !

830 = 110H + 60

Subtract 60 from each side:

770 = 110H

Divide each side by 110 :

H = 770 / 110 = 7 .

It happens 7 hours after 11 AM.
That would be <u>6:00 PM</u> .
