hammer [34]

In this question there are several important information's provided. Using these information's it is easy to get the answer to the question asked.

Reduce to simplest form. -\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)=− 8 7 −(− 6 5 )=minus, start fraction, 7, divided by, 8, e

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$-\dfrac{1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to reduce the expression below to its simplest form

$-\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)$

<u>STEP 1: </u>Remove the brackets

Take note that the product of same sign(- and -) will give you the addition sign.

$-\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)=-\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

<u>STEP 2:</u> Find the Lowest Common Multiple of 8 and 6

Lowest Common Multiple of 8 and 6 is 24

<u>STEP 3:</u> Use the LCM to Simplify

$-\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{(-3X7)+(5X4)}{24}\\=\dfrac{-21+20}{24}\\=\dfrac{-1}{24}\\=-\dfrac{1}{24}$

Therefore:

$-\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)=-\dfrac{1}{24}$

Find the percent of markup round to the nearest tenth

Ilya [14]

The first step in solving this problem is to compute the amount of markup. You can do this by deducting the original price to the marked up price.

$70.00 - $35.50 = $34.50

To get the percent of markup, you have to divide the amount of markup to the original price.

$34.50 / $35.50 = 97.2%

A post it note has an area of A square inches. The width of the post it note is 4 inches.which equation represents X the length

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Option C. X=A/4

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangular post it note is equal to

$A=LW$

where

L is the length

W is the width

In this problem we have

$W=4\ in$

$L=X\ in$

substitute

$A=4X$

solve for x

That means ----> isolate the variable x

Divide by 4 both sides

$X=\frac{A}{4}$
