Answer:

13/20 = 0.65 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the difference of two fractions is usually done by first expressing each of them using a common denominator. Here, both 4 and 10 are factors of 20, so 20 is a suitable common denominator.

9/10 - 1/4 = 18/20 - 5/20 = (18 -5)/20 = 13/20

This can be expressed as a decimal:

13/20 = (13·5)/(20·5) = 65/100 = 0.65

9/10 of a mile is 13/20 of a mile larger than 1/4 of a mile. In decimal, that is 0.65 miles larger.

anzhelika [568]

Let's use x to represent the number of hours since we don't know that.

750+250x<2500
Subtract 750 from both sides.
250x<1750
Divide both sides by 250.
x<7
The most hours that they can do is 7, or it can be less.

450 is shared between two workers John and Andrew if John gets 50 more than Andrew how much does John get

NemiM [27]

450 divided by 2 is 225. 225-50=175. 225+50=275

John has 275 and Andrew has 175.

In order to get this answer, first you divide the whole number by 2. Then you get the number 225. You then have to subtract 50 from 225 because John gets 50 more than Andrew. Then for John, you have to add 50 to 225. To self-check the answer, here is the formula: 175+275=450. Remember that on these kind of word problems, you first divide the whole. Then subtract and add the number that one person gets more than the other person.
