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>)

Gary and Richard are practicing tying knots. Richard already has 3 knots tied when Gary starts.
Artyom0805 [142]
In graphs of linear relationships, you can always determine a proportional linear relationship by observing where the line crosses the y axis. If the line crosses through the origin, then the relationship is proportional. This means that the independent data(in this case time) can be multiplied by a constant factor to always get it's related dependent piece of data.

From the graph you might notice some data points for Gary: At 2mins he completes 1.5 knots or the ordered pair (2, 1.5). We see another data point at 4mins he completes 3 knots or the ordered pair (4,3). How about the ordered pair (6, 4.5)? Notice that if I multiply the "x" coordinate of all these ordered pairs by 0.75, I get the "y" coordinate. Or maybe another way to look at it, the "y" coordinate of each point on the line divided its corresponding "x" coordinate will always produce the same number, 0.75. This number, 0.75, is called the constant of proportionality.

So, the answer to this problem is choice "D"

Summary: To identify proportional linear relationship from a graph, look for the line that goes through the origin. To find the constant of proportionality, determine the coordinates of a convenient point on the line and divide the y coordinate by the x .

The length, 18 meters, is the answer to the following question.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

L = B + 3  ..................(1)

L × B = 270  m²  .................(2)

on solving we get

L = 18 m, B = 15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L

and,

Width of the rectangle be 'B'

thus,

according to the question

L = B + 3  ..................(1)

And, area of the rectangle = 270 m²

also,

Area of the rectangle = L × B = 270  m²  ...........(2)

on substituting 'L' from equation 1 in equation 2, we get

( B + 3 ) × B = 270

or

B² + 3B - 270 = 0

or

B² + 18B - 15B - 270 = 0

or

B( B + 18 ) - 15(B + 18) = 0

or

( B - 15 ) × ( B + 18 ) = 0

thus, we get

B = 15 m (accepted ) and B = -18 m (neglected : since the length cannot be negative)

therefore,

From 1, we get

L = 15 + 3 = 18 m
