Mathematics

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago

1/4 - [-3/8]

\frac{1}{4}- (-\frac{3}{8})

Negative times negative become positive

\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{8}

Now to add fractions we make the denominator same

4  and 8 are in the denominator

Least common denominator of 4  and 8 is 8

To make denominators same , we multiply the numerator and denominator of first fraction by 2.

\frac{1*2}{4*2} + \frac{3}{8}

\frac{2}{8} + \frac{3}{8}

The denominators are same so we combine the numerators

\frac{2+3}{8}

\frac{5}{8}

\frac{1}{4}  -  \frac{ - 3}{8}  =  \frac{5}{8}
5/8 cross multiply on the top then multiply the denominator you get 20/32 reduce that it's 5/8

Funke, Adamu, Shehu, Kwame and Tanko play a game of cards. Funke says to Adamu, "If you give me 5 cards, you will have as many a
baherus [9]

This involves basic arithmetic calculations and simultaneous equations.

Adamu has 25 Cards

Let the following letters represent the number of cards each has;

A: ADAMU

F: FUNKE

S: SHEHU

K: KWAME

T: TANKO

  • If adamu gives funke 5 cards, he will have as many as tanko. Thus;

A - 5 = T  --- eq 1

  • If funke gives adamu 4 cards, he will have as many as kwame. Thus;

A + 4 = K  --- eq 2

  • Funke and adamu have a total of 13 more cards than the total that kwame and tanko have. Thus;

A + F = K + T + 13   --- eq 3

  • Adamu has 2 cards more than what Shehu has. Thus;

A - 2 = S  --- eq 4

From online research, the Total Number of cards is 134 and not 133. Thus;

A + F + K + S + T = 134  --- eq 5

Let's put A - 5 = T and A + 4 = K in eq 3 to get;

A + F = (A + 4) + (A - 5) + 13

A + F = 2A + 12

F = 2A - A + 12

F = A + 12

Let's put A - 2 = S ; F = A + 12 ; A - 5 = T and A + 4 = K into eq 5 to get;

A + A + 12  + A + 4 + A - 2 + A - 5 = 134

Simplifying gives;

5A + 9 = 134

5A = 134 - 9

5A = 125

A = 125/5

A = 25

Adamu has 25 Cards
