What is the product of -3/8 + -4/12 simplfy your answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

-\frac{17}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the common denominator of 8 and 12, which is 24.

Next we rewrite our fractions:

-\frac{9}{24} - \frac{8}{24} = -\frac{17}{24}

This cannot be reduced.

Destiny designs necklaces.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the ratio of yellow beads to blue beads is 4:5. The best way I think is to guess and check multiplying the ratio by integers. You need between 15 and 20.

4 : 5 ( = 9 too little )

8 : 10 ( = 18 just right)

12 : 15 ( = 27 too much)

So per necklace, 8 yellow beads and 10 blue beads would be needed. 

I hope this helps :-)
