Your solutions are : X = 4, 3/2
1/8=.125, so 12 and a half % are blue
The question is basically asking for the difference between how far ryan lives from the store and how far abby lives from the store.
therefore, to solve the problem, we can just do: distance ryan lives from the store minus distance abby lives from the store.
since ryan is 3.76 kilometers from the store and abby is 1.67 kilometers from the store, the answer is:
3.76 - 1.67 = 2.09 kilometers.
Answer:
10\frac{7}{12}
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing you want to do is find the common denominator for \frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{4}. You do this by multiplying to denominators together, so 3*4=12.
Next, multiple the numerators with the opposite denominator. 1*4=4 and 3*3=9.
Now you are left with \frac{4][12] and \frac{9}{12}.
Add those back to your numbers
16\frac{4}{12} - 5\frac{9}{12} = 10\frac{7}{12}
