We need a common denominator before we subtract. Both numbers go into 8. 5/8 stays as 5/8 and 1/2 becomes 4/8

Now we can subtract: 5/8 - 4/8
All we have to do is subtract the numerators (5 - 4) and keep the same denominator.

5 - 4 = 1

The answer is <span>1/8.</span>

Angelica painted 1/20 of her bedroom walls in 1/2 an hour. How long will it take Angelica to paint her whole bedroom?
julsineya [31]

Angelica would have painted the bedroom in 20 hours if every hour she painted 1/20. But she doesn't paint 1/20 of a room per hour but rather 30 minutes. That means it will take her 10 hours to paint the whole room.

Hope this helps.

How do I solve this 9x-(x-24)=2x-(-5+x)
Viefleur [7K]
Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides

8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7

x= -19/7
