Answer:

\frac{13}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two fractions and are being asked to subtract them.

7/8 and 1/3 don't have the same denominator, so to do as so, we need to find the LCM of both denominators, multiply them to that, and do the same for the numerators.

So what is the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 8 and 3?

24.

Therefore :

\frac{7 * 3}{8 * 3} - \frac{1*8}{3*8}

\frac{21}{24} - \frac{8}{24}

\frac{13}{24}

Answer:

13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Common denominator:

common denominator = 24

multiply bottom and top so from 8 to 24 is 8x3, so multiply by three and what you do to the bottom you do to the top so,

7/8: 8 x 3 = 24 and 7 x 3 = 21 so the new fraction is 21/24.

Do the same to the other fraction: 1/3 multiply top and bottom by 8 because 3 x 8 = 24.

1/3 = 8/24

Now just subtract:

21/24 - 8/24 = 13/24 (<em>There is your answer</em>)

What is the smallest whole number that can be multiplied by 300 such that the product is a perfect cube?
Neko [114]

300=2×2×5×5×3

We observe that 2 and 5 are grouped in pairs and the 3 is left unpaired.

If we multiply 300 by the factor 3 then  

300×3=2×2×5×5×3×3

900=2×2×5×5×3×3 which is a perfect square.

∴ Required number is 3

root of 900  =30

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40. They are on sale for 20% off. If the tax rate is 8%, what is the sale
Anna35 [415]

Answer      

Find out the  what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .

To prove

Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .

As given

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.

They are on sale for 20% off.

If the tax rate is 8% .

20% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{20}{100}

= 0.20

8% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{8}{100}

= 0.08

Than the equation becomes

x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08

x = 40 - 8 + 3.2

x = 43.2 - 8

x = $35.2

Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .
