Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 11 by 8, and get 88.Then we multiply 7 by 12, and get 84.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.

So now our fractions look like this:

88 /96 -84 /96

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

88 − 84 = 4

So the answer is:

4 /96

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:            

4 /96 ÷ 2 =2 /48

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

2 /48 ÷ 2 =1 /24

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

No good. 2 is larger than 1. So we're done reducing.                                    There you have it! The final answer is:

11 /12 -7 /8=1 /24

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

  • 11/12-7/8

Simplifly the denominator:

  • \frac{11}{12}=\frac{88}{96}
  • \frac{7}{8}=\frac{84}{96}

Subtract the fraction term:

  • \frac{88}{96}-\frac{84}{96}=\frac{4}{96}

Simplifly the fraction term:

  • \frac{4}{96}=\frac{1}{24}

Therefore, 11/12-7/8=1/24.

Mario has a rectangular prism completely filled with sand that has a base area of 85 cm² and a height of 15 cm. Mario pours all
just olya [345]

The base area of this second rectangular prism is 51 cm²

The rectangular prism completely filled with sand has a base area of 85cm² and height of 15cm .

<h3></h3><h3> volume of a rectangular prism</h3>
  • volume = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height

Since the first rectangular prism was completely filled with sand and it completely filled the second rectangular prism, it means they both have the same volume.

Therefore,

volume of the first rectangular prism = volume of the second rectangular prism.

  • volume  = Bh
  • volume = 85 × 15
  • volume = 1275 cm³

Therefore, the base area of the second rectangular prism can be calculated as follows:

volume = Bh

1275 = 25B

B = 1275 / 25

B = 51 cm²
