You want to make the fractions have the same denominator.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
now subtract the numerator and keep the denominator the same...
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
5 1/2 is the answer

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
the factor of x in the equation is the slope, which is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.
going from the left point to the right point x changes by +3 units, and y changes by -1 unit.
so, the slope (and factor of x in the equation) is -1/3.
and the constant term in the equation is the y (axis) intercept of the line.
this is the y value, when x = 0 (intercepting the y axis).
and we see in the graph, when x = 0, the line goes through y = 2.
so, the equation has to be
y = -1/3 × x + 2
therefore, C is the right answer.
Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.
