How can you subtract fractions with unlike denominators?

Mathematics

Answer:

No, You can't. You have to make their denominators equal!

-\frac{7}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, you make their denominators equal!

\frac{1*2}{5*2} =\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}

Multiplying both the numerator and denominator with the same number results in the same fraction, just un-simplified

So, we input it!

\frac{2}{10} -\frac{9}{10} = -\frac{7}{10}

There you go!

Hope you get better at math!(gets wayyyyyyyyyyy...y more complicated later)

Hope this helps!

See Ya!

P.S. Stay Safe!

Answer: it would end up being 2/10-9/10 which is -7/10. If you meant it the other way around then it's 7/10.

Step-by-step explanation: with unlike denominators you can't do anything until they're alike. So you would find the least common denominator of both denominators which in this case would be 10. Since we already have one denominator of 10 we have to make the other denominator 10 if we want to continue with the equation. To make the denominator 10 you multiply it by two. You also have to multiply the numerator by 2 because of the balance rule " what you do to the bottom, you must do the top" and vice versa. Anyways that's how you get your answer. Hope this helped!!!

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

9 feet 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to get the answer we want to add the heights of the boxes.

2 feet, 4 inches + 2 feet 11 inches = 4 feet 15 inches. 4 feet 15 inches + 3 feet 10 inches = 7 feet and 25 inches. 25 inches is equal to 2 feet and 1 inch, so we end up with 9 feet and 1 inch as our answer.

Find the area of the regular octagon if the apothem is 4.2 and a side is 3.4 In. Round to the nearest whole number. A. 114 B. 57
Elena-2011 [213]
The area of the regular octagon is calculated as half of the product of the perimeter and the apothem (ap), using the formula of the area of the regular polygon.
 We have then:
 A = ((p) * (ap)) / 2
 Where,
 p: perimeter
 ap: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = ((8 * 3.4) * (4.2)) / 2
 A = 57.12 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of the regular octagon is:
