The answer is A.5/8.

Why?

Multiply 1/4 with 2/2 to get the same denominator as 7/8, 8. That will yield 2/8.Then, simply subtract 2/8 from 7/8 (7/8 - 2/8), and that equals 5/8.

Hope this helps!

The answer would end up being A. 5/8 because if you subtract 1/4 from 7/8 you would have to multiply the 1/4 by 2 to give you 2/8 so it can be subtracted from 7/8 because they have to have the same denominator and then you end up with a total of 5/8 gas was used for the trip

xeze [42]

Answer:

She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:

Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.

Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:

\frac{5}{8} ÷\frac{3}{4}

When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:

\frac{5}{8}÷\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{8}×\frac{4}{3} =\frac{20}{24}

If we simplify this last expression we have:

\frac{20}{24}=\frac{10}{12}  =\frac{5}{6}

Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

<em>Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have. </em>
