Answer:

7/15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator between the two fractions. The least common denominator in this case would be 15, so you have to multiply 1/3 by 5 to have a denominator of 15. Then you multiply 1/5 by 3 to have a denominator of 15. You will find that Mark ran a distance of 2 5/15 km and Shaun ran 3 3/15 km. To make it even easier, you can add the whole number back into the fraction so Mark will have ran 35/15 km and Shaun will have ran 48/15 km meaning that Shaun will have ran more. Then you set you fractions up and subtract them.

What is the value of x? Enter X : (Look at the photo)

Anton [14]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Each line creates a 180° angle on each side of it. Since these lines intersect, they have congruent angles. This means that these two quantities can be set equal to each other.

3x + 50 = 6x - 10

Solve by combining like-terms and isolating x. Move the 3x to the right by subtracting it from both sides.

50 = 3x - 10

Move the 10 to the left by adding it to both sides.

60 = 3x

Divide the 3 from both sides to isolate the x.

x = 20

Furthermore, this can be checked by plugging in 20 to x and seeing if the expression is true.

3(20) + 50 = 6(20) - 10

110 = 110

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A grocery store has a 13%-off sale on all bread.

Let b represent the original price of a loaf of bread.

This means that the amount by which the price of bread was reduced would be

13/100 × b = 0.13 × b = 0.13b

The new price for the loaf of bread would be

b - 0.13b

you decide to purchase 6 loaves of bread. The expression would be

6(b - 0.13b)

Expanding the expression, it becomes

6b - 0.78b
