Mr. Alvarado needs 15 1/8 pounds of chicken feed to fill his feeder. He has one bag of chicken feed that weighs 3 1/2 pounds and

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

B: 8 7/8 Lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

answer = $15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{1}{2} -2\frac{3}{4}$

step 1 find a common denominator

common denominator - 8

* apply *

$\frac{1^*^1}{8^*^8} =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{1^*^4}{2^*^4} =\frac{4}{8} \\\\\frac{3^*^2}{4^*^2} =\frac{6}{8}$

now we have

$15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{4}{8} -2\frac{6}{8}$

step 2 make each fraction a improper fraction

We can do this my multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding that to the numerator.

$15*8=120\\120+1=121\\\frac{121}{8} \\\\3*8=24\\24+4=28\\\frac{28}{8} \\\\2*8=16\\16+6=22\\\frac{22}{8}$

now we have

$\frac{121}{8} -\frac{28}{8} -\frac{22}{8}$

Now we can subtract

remember when subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. ( so we keep the denominator as 8 )

so 121 - 28 - 22 = 71

so the answer is $\frac{71}{8}$

finally we want to change the answer back into a mixed fraction

To do this we divided 71 and 8

8 can go into 71 8 times

8 * 8 = 64

71 - 64 = 7

We're left with $8\frac{7}{8}$

Two cyclists leave city at same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes 3 mph faster than the

Bumek [7]

Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist

So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist

We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}$

West-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles

East-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles

On solving,

Distance apart = 162

$\Rightarrow6x+18+6x = 162$

$\Rightarrow12x=162-18$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{144}{12}\rightarrow x=12$

So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be $x+3=12+3=15 \text{ mph}$
