Answer:

9 4/24 or 9 1/6

Find the LCM(lowest common multiple) of 8, 24 and 6.
The LCM of 8, 24 and 6 is 24.
We now want to turn all the denominators into 24 so we are going multiply 7/8 by 3 and 1/6 by 4. We won't need to turn the denominator of 3/24 into 24 because it's already 24
Whatever you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator, so you also have to multiply the numerator of 7/8 by 3 and the numerator of 1/6 by 4
That now results in 21/8 + 2 3/24 + 6 4/24
Now you have to add all the fractions together which is going to equal to 28/24
Because 28/24 is more than the whole, subtract 28 from 24 which gives us 4. That 4 is now our new numerator
We are now going to all the whole numbers 6+2+1=9. Incase you're wondering, the '1' came from the 28/24
The answer you should get should be 9 4/24 or if it should be simplified it would be 9 1/6

You can use an arithmetic operator to return the modulus of a calculation, which is the ____ when you divide one number by anoth

balandron [24]

Answer:

Residue

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b be integers. We define a mod b to be the residue of dividing a by b. For example, if a evenly divides b, then a mod b=0, 20 mod 6= 2. The modulus operator is widely used in programming, and it is convenient when a and b are large numbers.

a mod b is always a nonnegative integer. In fact, 0≤ a mod b≤ |b-1| by the division algorithm. a and b can also be negative integers. Since 8=-(-5)+3 then 8 mod -5= 3.

As a final example, some known properties can be rewritten in terms of mod. a mod 2=0 if and only if a is even. a mod 2=1 if and only if a is odd.

A portable CD player costs $48. How much is a payment of 25% of the cost

levacccp [35]

25% is the same is 1/4 of something. So you have to find what 1/4th of 48 is. To do that, just divide 48 by 4. and you get 12.

A 25% payment on a CD player that costs $48 would be $12. Hope that helps!

Three cartons of juice cost $4.77? find the cost of 8 cartons

AleksAgata [21]

Note: Make the rule of three simple

cartoons __ price $
3 --------------- 4.77
8 --------------- y

Solving: (directly proportional)

$\frac{3}{8} = \frac{4.77}{y}$
Product of extremes equals product of means
 $3*y = 8*4.77$
$3y = 38.16$
$y = \frac{38.16}{3}$
$\boxed{\boxed{y = 12.72}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
The price of eight cartoons was $\$\:12.72$
