Answer:
1/24
Step-by-step explanation:
We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.
So we multiply 11 by 8, and get 88.Then we multiply 7 by 12, and get 84.
Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.
So now our fractions look like this:
88
/96
-84
/96
Step 2
Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.
88 − 84 = 4
So the answer is:
4
/96
Step 3
Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?
To find out, we try dividing it by 2...
Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:
4
/96
÷ 2 =2
/48
Let's try dividing by 2 again...
Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:
2
/48
÷ 2 =1
/24
Let's try dividing by 2 again...
No good. 2 is larger than 1. So we're done reducing. There you have it! The final answer is:
11
/12
-7
/8=1
/24
A = 1/2(8)(10) + 1/2(6)(8)
A = 40 + 24
A = 64
answer
64 in^2
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Use part/whole proportions. 10/25 (15 + 10) = 12/x. Multiply 12 times 25 (300) = 10x (10 times x). 300 = 10x, isolate x by dividing both sides by 10 and you get 30 = x.
The area of the red piece of paper is A= 4(2*4)= 4*8= 32 in^2.
The area of the blue piece of paper is A= 3*7=21 in^2. You subtract 21 from 32 and the difference is 11. So 11in^2 is visible.
B. Multiplied each side by 12
