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>)

Ivan has a $500 bond with a 5.8% coupon. Ivan purchased this bond for $515.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The yield is 5.974%

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed as follows ;

coupon rate = Annual coupon payment/bond face value.

The face value is the original amount which the bond was bought and that is $515 according to the question. While the coupon rate is 5.8%

mathematically, annual coupon payment = coupon rate * bond face value = 0.058 * 515 = $29.87

mathematically;

current yield = Annual coupon payment/bond price

current yield = 29.87/500

= 0.05974 or simply 5.974%

so the answer is c. 5.6%

By selling a watch in Rs 150 and Rs 200 loss and profit are happened
Travka [436]

Answer:

Rs 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the cost is x and at Rs150 the loss is 150-x (this should be a negative number).

At Rs200, the profit is 200-x.

So we have an equation: minus 150 minus x is equal to 200 minus x.

To solve the equation, the cost price X is Rs175.
