Answer:

As she ate 1/10 of cake, we need to know how many cake remains after it, so we can substract:

1 - 1/10 = 10/10 - 1/10 = 9/10

Then, we need to divide the 9/10 into 3 portions:

(9/10) / 3 = 9/30 = 3/10

So we know the fractions would be 3/10 each on this situation..

Zinaida [17]

Hello there, today you gave us the problem $\frac{17}{20}-\frac{4}{15}$ ,

Our first step is to give them common denominators, which is $\frac{51}{60}-\frac{16}{60}$ , solve it and we get $\frac{35}{60}$ as our answer, which can be simplified down to $\frac{7}{12}$

Rewrite in simplest terms: -2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d)

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

= 5 ( 12d + 23f )

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d

Open parenthesis

= -10d + 18f + 7f + 90f + 70d

Collect like terms

= -10d + 70d + 18f + 7f + 90f

= 60d + 115f

Factorise

= 5 ( 12d + 23f )

Therefore,

-2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d) in its simplest form is 5 ( 12d + 23f )

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount

kakasveta [241]

$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
