Answer:

2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to make the first value into an improper fraction, which makes 3 3/8 into 27/8. Now we subtract 9 from 27, giving us 18. This 18 is still over the common denominator of 8. 8 goes into 18 twice with 2 left over. So we have our mixed number as 2 2/8, which can be simplified to 2 1/4.

1. Multiply 8 x 3 to find the value of 3 whole lots of eighths. This is 24, or 24/8, since there are 24 eighths.
2. To convert 3 3/8 into an improper fraction, do 24/8 + 3/8 = 27/8.
3. Now you can do 27/8 - 9/8, which is 18/8.
4. 18/8 cancels down to 9/4 if you divide both sides by 2.
5. Now, you can convert your answer into a mixed number by dividing 9 by 4 and putting the remainder over 4. 2 x 4 = 8, so you have two whole fourths and 1/4. Hence, your final answer is 2 1/4.

FYI, if you left your improper fraction as 18/8, you would still yet the same answer, because 2 x 8 = 16 and 18-16 = 2, so you would get 2 2/8, which cancels down to 2 1/4.

Hope this helped :)

djverab [1.8K]
For one pair of socks you pay $12 plus $2 shipping.

Let's use x as the variable for how many pairs of socks someone might buy.

If someone buys 5 pairs of socks, they will pay $62. $12 * 5 + $2

So, we can write the expression as 12x + 2.

Your sister is getting married this summer and she has asked you to help her select a D.J.
ioda
So Dave charges 150 at first and then 10.50 per each hour, so if your sister has the party going for say "h" hours, then his total charges will then be 150 + 10.5h.

now, Marvin's Mobile Music charges 135 at first, but then is more expensive per hour is 15 bucks per each hour, so if she has a party for "h" hours, then his total charges are 135 + 15h.

now, let's check when they're both equal, at how many hours will they cost your sister the same amount.

\bf 150+10.50h=135+15h\implies 150-135=15h-10.5h&#10;\\\\\\&#10;15=4.5h\implies 15=4\frac{1}{2}h\implies 15=\cfrac{9}{2}h\implies \cfrac{15}{\frac{9}{2}}=h\implies \cfrac{\frac{15}{1}}{\frac{9}{2}}=h&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{15}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{9}=h\implies \cfrac{30}{9}=h\implies \cfrac{10}{3}=h\implies 3\frac{1}{3}=h

so, 3 and a third of a hour, or 3 hours and 20 minutes, they both will cost your sister the same amount, so it wouldn't matter who's hired if the party is only 3 hours and 20 minutes long.

however, after that, the one with higher hourly rate, Marvin's, gets more expensive, and she's better off hiring the one with cheaper hourly rate.

now, you can just get some mp3s and some loud speakers and nevermind the  DJs and you do it, or she can do it, I have the macarena song if you need that one.
