<u>Answer:</u>

Lindsay used 16/24 yards of fabric and has 5/24 yards left over

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

7/8 - 2/3 = ?

Since both fractions have unlike denominators, we are gonna have to rewrite the fractions so we can subtract. We are gonna find the least common denominators, to be able to subtract.

(7/8 x 3/3) - (2/3 x 8/8) = ?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes :

21/24 (7/8) - 16/24 (2/3) = 5/24

slava [35]

Answer:

The age of the person who entered the room is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Ages of 5 people in a room are:

17, 16, 15, 17, 22

A person enters room, and then the mean age of 6 people is 17.

We need to find the age of person who entered the room.

The formula to calculate mean is: Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}

Now, in question we are given mean of 6 people that is 17

The age of 5 people are given while age of one person who enters the room is unknown.

Let age of person whose age is unknown= x

Now finding x using mean formula

Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}\\17=\frac{17+16+ 15+ 17+ 22+x}{6}\\17=\frac{87+x}{6}\\17*6=87+x\\102=87+x\\x=102-87\\x=15

So, The value of x: x=15

Hence, the age of the person who entered the room is 15

Someone please help me I suck @ simplifying thank you
dsp73

To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be

72.

Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.

40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.

Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.
