Answer:
1.5 as decimal, 1 1/2 as a fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
1. convert 2 5/6 & (-1 4/12) to a improper fraction.
17/6 and -16/12
2. multiply 17/6 by 2 to match -16/12's denominator
17/6 * 2 = 34/12
We now have
34/12 + -16/12
A positive number plus a negative number is the same thing as subtraction so we remove the negative sign and replace the plus with a minus sign.
We have:
Now solve. 34-16 = 18
our answer is 18/12
The product a number with its square is equal to 8. Find the number.
Answer:
the number is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the number to x.
So, according to the equation:
![\textrm{x}\times\textrm{x}^{2}=8\\ \textrm{x}^{3}=8\\ \textrm{x}=\sqrt[3]{8}\\ \therefore \textrm{x}=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctextrm%7Bx%7D%5Ctimes%5Ctextrm%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%3D8%5C%5C%20%5Ctextrm%7Bx%7D%5E%7B3%7D%3D8%5C%5C%20%5Ctextrm%7Bx%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D%5C%5C%20%5Ctherefore%20%5Ctextrm%7Bx%7D%3D2)
It is 54524.32.

(2/5) / 1 = x / (3/4).....2/5 cups to 1 pie = x cups to 3/4 pie
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (2/5)(3/4)
x = 6/20 which reduces to 3/10 cups <==
2a + 8b + 10
-3a + 7b + 16
2a + 8b + 10 - 5a -b +6= -3a + 7b +16
Next, group the similar figures
2a - 5a + 8b - b + 10 + 6= -3a + 7b + 16
