Find the GCF of 15 and 35
15=3*5
35=7*5
The Greatest Common Factor here is 5
Divide both the numerator and denominator by this value to get the simplest form.
15/5=3
35/5=7
Final answer: 3/7
3 3/4÷ 1/4
15/4÷1/4
15/4÷4/1
15*4=60
4*1=4
60/4=15
15 times 1/4 can fit into 3 3/4.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)
Now, we solve for t.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t
We combine like terms.
2/3t+8=t
We subtract t from both sides.
-1/3t+8=0
We subtract 8 from both sides.
-1/3t=-8
We divide both sides by -1/3.
t=24
Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
$27.08 it would cost to get the other two shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 1/5 fish
We know that 2/5 of Mike's fish are clownfish. Therefore, 3/5 are not clownish as 5/5 – 2/5 = 3/5. Also, if you look at the model, there are five pieces. If we assume that model represents the whole of Mike's fish and you take away two pieces, you are left with 3/5. So we know that the remaining fish is 3/5
Next, we know that of these 3/5 fish, 1/3 is damselfish, so we need to find 1/3 of 3/5. To do this, we must multiply 1/3 by 3/5 as "of" means multiply in Math.
So: 1/3 • 3/5 = 1 • 3/3 • 5 = 3/15 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5 3/15 = 1/5
1/5 of Mike's fish are damsel fish
B. 2/5 fish
Now we know that 1/5 of Mike's fish is damselfish, and 2/5 is clownfish. To find the fraction of his fish that are neither, therefore, we must subtract their sum from the whole.
First, we add 1/5 and 2/5 together. Adding the numerators, 1 and 2, we get 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5
Next, we subtract: 5/5 – 3/5 = 2/5, so 2/5 of his fish are neither clownfish or damselfish
And if you look at the model again, you can see that if you cross out 1 piece for the damselfish, and 2 pieces for the clownfish, you are left with 2/5
