there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 6 inches is really just half a foot, thus 3'6" is really just 3.5' or 3½ feet.
now, let's convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind our LCD will be 8.

Answer: $56.50
==================================
(instead of dividing each of them individually and them subtracting them one by one, combine them together as a fraction first and then subtract)
80 - (68/5 + 51/2 + 22/5)
= 80 - (136/10 + 255/10 + 44/10)
= 80 - (435/10)
= 80 - 43.5
= 56.5
He saved $56.50 on that
To find the cost of 1 pound, we need to divide $19.14 by 3.25 pounds. 19.14/3.25= 5.88923076923. We can round this to the nearest hundredths to make $5.89. So, the cost of 1 pound of coffee beans is $5.89. Hope this helped!
simplify the expression, <em> -4/7 + 2/7 x - 14 x + 4 / 7</em>
Answer : <em>-96x/7</em>
First one would be 11:
11 x 3 = 33
33 - 5 = 28
