There is another method than what the other user has pointed out (both are valid and are up to personal preference as to which are better)

For this method you need to make sure that both the denominators are the same.

(See attached image)

I hope this makes sense!

As a summary; you must make sure that both denominators of the fractions are the same. Whatever number you multiply by for the denominator, use also for the numerator.

You turn 8 5/6 and 2 1/3 into improper fractions (8 5/6 becomes 53/6 and 2 1/3 becomes 7/3)

Then you take 53/6 and 7/3 and find a common denominator which is 6
Then you multiply 7x2 and 3x2 which equals to 14/6

53/6 - 14/6 is 39/6
You can leave it as 39/6 or change it into a mixed number, if you make it a mixed number then you would get 6 3/6 which is equivalent to 6 1/2.

A geologist visits 60 volcanoes in Alaska and California. 15% of the volcanoes are in California. How many volcanoes did the geo
labwork [276]
To solve this, first find out how many volcanoes were in California. As 15% were in California, you can multiply the total number of volcanoes by the percent IN DECIMAL FORM. To convert it to decimal form, divide it by 100, so 15/100=.15. Now multiply by your total to get the number of volcanoes in California (C), C=60*.15=9 volcanoes in California. To get the volcanoes in Alaska, yous subtract your volcanoes in California from your total, so 60-9=51 volcanoes in Alaska.

What is 5.63x10^6 in standard form
Effectus [21]

first change the 5.63 to standard form as

563 \times  {10}^{ - 2}

so now multiplying with the 10^6

563 \times  {10}^{ - 2}  \times  {10}^{6}

applying the first law of indices

563 \times  {10}^{ - 1 + 6}

= 563 \times  {10}^{5}

as final answer
