-5/8 * 2/3=

-5/8= -0.625
2/3=0.666666667

So multiply them together, and you get...

-0.416666667

Or -0.42

Or in simplified form... -5/12

Michaela spent 5/6 of an hour reading on each of 3 days this week. She spent 3/4 of an hour on each of 2 days this week doing sc

Kay [80]

5/6 of an hour is 50 min. So 50 times 3 equals 150 min for reading. 3/4 of an hour is 45 min. 45 times 2 equals 90 min for science. And 1/2 of an hour is 30 min. So 30 times 4 equals 120 mins for math. Add 150,90, and 120 min all together and you get 360 mins total. Divide 360 by 60, and you get 6 hours total that Michaela spent on reading, math, and science. Not 2 1/2.

Jake’s measures the height of a tree to be 74 3/8

goblinko [34]

I'm assuming the question is asking how tall the tree is if it has grown 2 3/4 inches.

The initial height of the tree is 74 3/8 inches and it grows 2 3/4 inches after six months. We can add these two numbers together to calculate the height of the tree now.

$74\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{3}{4}$

Since these are both mixed numbers, we must find a common denominator to add our fractions. 8 is the lowest common denominator for 4 and 8. So:

$74\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{6}{8}$

We can now add our whole numbers up (74 + 2) and add the numerators of the fractions together to get a single fraction ( $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{8}$ ).

74 + 2 = 76

$\frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{8} = \frac{9}{8}$

Putting these two together, we get $76 \frac{9}{8}$ , which is equal to $77\frac{1}{8}$ .

We can also turn this answer into an improper fraction. This is done by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. So in this case:

77 x 8 = 616

616 + 1 = 617

The denominator stays the same, so our answer as an improper fraction would be $\frac{617}{8}$ .
