Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply the denominator and the numerator of 1/4 by 2 to get a common denominator between the two. (1/4 and 5/8 is now 2/8 and 5/8)

1*2= 2; 4*2= 8, so you get 2/8 (which is equal to 1/4)

Step 2: When you get 2/8, subtract:

5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8

And... since 2/8 is equal to 1/4, 3/8 is the answer :)

Hope this helps :)

You are writing a research paper on plant cells. You got 48,600,000 results on the online search. How do you write 48,600,000 in

never [62]

Place a decimal point between the first two digits (4 and 8). Erase the commas and the 0s. So you'll have 4.86 left over after you've done that erasing.

Now ask yourself: "how many places to the right must I move the decimal to get 4.86 to turn back to 48,600,000?"

That would be 7 places to the right. That 7 is the exponent over the 10

<h3>Therefore, the answer is 4.86 * 10^7</h3>

This number is 48.6 million

One bricklayer can build a wall in 6 hours. Another bricklayer could build the same wall in 4 hours. If they work together, how

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

One bricklayer can build a wall in 6 hours.

One hour work = $\frac{1}{6}$

Another bricklayer can build the same wall in 4 hours.

One hour work = $\frac{1}{4}$

They can together, how long will take them to build the wall.

Let's take "t" the time taken to build the wall.

The sum of their work rate = 1 (To build the wall)

$\frac{t}{6} + \frac{t}{4} = 1$

Now we have to solve this equation. Take LCD of 6 and 4.

The LCD (least common divisor) of 6 and 4 is 12.

$\frac{2t + 3t}{12} = 1$

5t = 12*1

5t = 12

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

t = $\frac{12}{5}$

t = 2.4 hours.

So, they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.
