Answer:
<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fraction of Portion</u>
Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.
For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.
Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:

The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:


The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9
-8 - 5n = 64 + 3n
+5n +5n add 5n to both sides, 5n's cancel out on the left.
______________
-8 = 64 + 8n
-64 -64 subtract 64 on both sides, 64's cancel out on the right.
______________
-72 = 8n
___ ___ divide 8 on both sides, 8's cancel out from the right.
8 8
n= -9, final answer
Answer:
12(3+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor is 12
12*3 + 12*5
12(3+5)
I believe you combine the first and last terms first because they have the same denominator
