Question 4- You need to subtract the shortest bolt from the longest bolt, or 1 1/4 minus 3/8. Make 1 1/4 improper and make the denominator 8 so multiply 5x2=10 and 4x2=8. 10/8 - 3/8 equals 7/8 and thats your final answer. Hope this helped ;)
B-8 would be the answer. This is because we are saying you have 8 less than something. So no matter what something is, we are taking away 8 from it. Since our something is unknown, we use our variable 'b' in its place, and subtract 8, giving us b-8.<span />
