He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
amount after 2 years = 6000(1 + (0.04/12))^24 = 6498.86
When you have 8(s-3) you are find a product of 8 times whatever s-3 is however s-3 you are find the difference between whatever s is and 3.
1/2÷ 3/8=4/3. To divide one fraction by another, invert (turn upside-down) the second fraction, then multiply.
