First, you need to make the fractions have the same denominator:
15 1/2 ---> 15 + (1/2 x 5) = 15 5/10
2 1/10 ---> 2 1/10
Then you need to subtract them from each other:
15 5/10
<u>- 2 1/10</u> (or) 15 5/10 - 2 1/10 = 13 4/10
13 4/10
This gets the answer: <u>13 4/10</u>
You can first distribute the number into the parenthesis: 3n + 2 - 8n. Now, combine the like terms (n): -5n + 2. It can either be -5n + 2 or 2 - 5n.
Answer:
20% alcohol = 1 gal
10% alcohol = 9 gal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = 20% alcohol
y = 10% alcohol
x + y = 10 (1)
0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11
0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)
From (1)
x = 10 - y
Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)
0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1
0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1
2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1
- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2
-0.10y = -0.9
y = -0.9/-0.10
y = 9 gal
substitute y = 9 into (1)
x + y = 10
x + 9 = 10
x = 10 - 9
x = 1 gal
20% alcohol = 1 gal
10% alcohol = 9 gal
6.5 is equal to 65/10 the reciprocal of that is 10/65=2/13
