This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4

To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.

I'll use 12

The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12

10/12-3/12 = 7/12

So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.

Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda

The "divisor" in synthetic division is most conveniently the value of the zero of the binomial term. Here, that is x=5. You also need to make sure you include all of the coefficients in the "dividend", putting zero where terms are missing.

The appropriate choice is A.

A farmer has 3/4 acre of land. He will use all the land and plant different vegetables in 1/16 -acre sections. How many sections
kati45 [8]

Answer: 12 sections of 1/16 acre

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find how many sections of 1/16 acre we can have in a total area of 3/4 acre.

This is equal to the quotient between 3/4 and 1/16

Remember that if we have two rational numbers (a/b) and (c/d) the quotient can be writen as:

(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)*(d/c) = (a*d)/(b*c)

The quotient we want to solve is:

(3/4)/(1/16) = (3/4)*(16/1) = (3*16)/4 = 12

Then you can have 12 sections of 1/16 acre
