Answer:Mercury is 36 million miles (57.9 million Km) from the Sun,
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
× + ×
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 14 and 12 using
GCF(14,12) = 2
14÷2 / 12÷2 =7/6
The fraction
7/6
is the same as
7÷6
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for 7 ÷ 6 = 1R1, so
7/6=
Therefore:
3/4 − (−5/12) =
Solution by Formulas
Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to
3/4 − (−5/12)
and solve
(3×12) − (−5×4) 4×12
=3/6− (−20/48)
=56/48
Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF( 56,48) = 8
56÷8 / 48÷8 =7/6
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for 7 ÷ 6 = 1R1, so
7/6=
Therefore:
3/4 − (-5/12) =
Answer:
Kevin is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kevin's age now. Then Brendon's age now is (k-3). Two years ago the relationship of their ages was ...
k-2 = 4((k-3) -2)
k -2 = 4k -20 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
3k = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 20-k
k = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Kevin is 6 now.
Answer:
The smaller number is 240.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says that the larger number is 300, so 5 has to be 300.
4:5
?:300
You can use cross-multiplication or find the scale factor to find the answer.
Cross-multiplication:
4 × 300 ÷ 5 = 240
Finding the scale factor:
300 ÷ 5 = 60
4 × 60 = 240
The smaller number is 240.
