So,

We can just subtract the fractions without converting any denominators.  To do that, we can split the subtraction problem up as follows:

12 - 5 - 1/8
7 - 1/8
6 7/8

Sally still has 6 7/8 or 6.875 miles to run.

What is one ninth plus two thirds simplified
GREYUIT [131]
7/9. 1/9 plus 2/3. You have to get the lest common denominator, so change 3 to 9 by multiplying it by three. Remember, you have to do the same thing you do to the denominator to the numerator. So, 2/3 would be 6/9. 6/9 plus 1/9 is easy, basic facts. 1 and 6 is 7, and you put the nine under. You get 7/9

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. It takes 8 hours for 4 people to pain
dezoksy [38]

Answer: it will take 5 people 6.4 hours to do the work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. Let h represent the number of hours required to do the job. Let p represent the number of people working. Therefore,

h is inversely proportional to p

Introducing a constant of variation, k, it means that

h = k/p

It takes 8 hours for 4 people to paint the inside of a house. Therefore

8 = k/4

k = 8×4 = 32

The formula becomes

h = 32/p

To determine how many hours it will take 5 people to do the work, we will substitute p = 5 into the formula. It becomes

h = 32/5 = 6.4 hours

Write a ratio, in the simplest form and a percent for the shaded area (there's a 5x4 box and 6 cubes are shaded)
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

\%Percent = 30 \%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shaded = 6\ cubes

Box = 5\ x\ 4

Required

Determine the percentage of the shaded cubes

First, we calculate the number of boxes:

Box = 5\ x\ 4

Express as multiplication

Box = 5\ *\ 4

Box = 20

This implies that there are 20 cubes in the box.

The percentage of the shaded cubes is:

\%Percent = \frac{Shaded}{Box} * 100\%

\%Percent = \frac{6}{20} * 100\%

\%Percent = \frac{6* 100}{20} \%

\%Percent = \frac{600}{20} \%

\%Percent = 30 \%

<em>30% were shaded</em>
