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>

"If a = − 9 and b = − 6, show that (a−b) ≠ (b−a)."
denis-greek [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

LHS  a - b = -9 - (-6) = -9 +6 = -3

Todd placed 32 square tiles along the edge of his wooden dining room table, as shown below. Note: Figure is not drawn to scale.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The diagonal is 421.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a difficult question. To find the diagonal, you need to find the base and the height of the square. After that, you need to make it a triangle, by using this equation; A=\frac{1}{2} BH (A being area, B being base, and H being height) then find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle, which I will do for you.

32*13=416 The B and H = 416. Plug it into the equation now;

A=\frac{1}{2}(416*416)\\\\\\A=\frac{1}{2} 173,056\\\\\\A=86,528Now that you have done that, we know that the area of our new triangle is 86,528.

The diagonal is: 421

6. You begin work at 8:30 am. You take an unpaid lunch break from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

7 hours 15 minutes

7.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Break from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm = 45 minutes

Two 15-minute unpaid coffee breaks during the day = 30 minutes

Total break hours = 45 minutes + 30 minutes

= 1 hour 15 minutes

Total work day hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm = 8 hours 30 minutes

How many hours are you paid?

Total hours paid = Total work day hours - Total unpaid break hours

= 8 hours 30 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes

= 7 hours 15 minutes

b) Express your answer as a decimal in hours only

7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal

15 minutes to hour = 60 minutes/15 minutes

= 1/4

= 0.25 hours

7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal = 7 hours + 0.25 hours

= 7.25 hours
