3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution with Steps

3/4−2/5=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/4, 2/5) = 20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/4×5/5)−(2/5×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/20−8/20=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−8/20=7/20

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

3/4−2/5

and solve

(3×5)−(2×4)/4×5

=15−8/20

=7/20

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

The cost of a pizza with the works" is represented as a function of its
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

diameter of the pizza = 21.88 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

C = d^2 – 2d + 447

where

C = cost of the pizza

d = diameter of the pizza

If the pizza costs $12.00, then what is a reasonable estimate for the diameter of the pizza?

12 = d^2 – 2d + 447

d^2 - 2d = 447 - 12

d^2 - 2d = 435

d^2 - 2d - 435 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation using formula

a = 1

b = -2

c = -435

d = -b +or- √b^2 - 4ac / 2a

= -(-2) +or- √(-2)^2 - (4)(1)(-435) / 2(1)

= 2 +or- √4 - (-1740) / 2

= 2 +or- √4 + 1740 / 2

= 2 +or- √1744 / 2

= 2 +or- 4√109 / 2

= 2/2 +or- 4√109/2

= 1 +or- 2√109

d = 1 + 2√109 or d = 1 - 2√109

= 1 + 2(10.44) or d = 1 - 2(10.44)

= 1 + 20.88 or d = 1 - 20.88

d = 21.88 or -19.88

diameter of the pizza = 21.88 centimeters

Therefore, the estimated diameter of the pizza can not be negative. So, diameter of the pizza = 21.88 cm
