Answer:
1/8 cup
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 7/8 - 1/4 - 1/2
x = 7/8 - 2/8 - 4/8
x = 1/8
Answer:
(17y/8) - 101 or (17y - 808) / 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Please enclose the fractional coefficient 1/8 inside paretheses:
(1/8)y + 17 + 2y - 118.
Now combine like terms. (1/8)y + 2y comes to (1/8)y + 16y/8 = (17/8)y.
We thus have (17/8)y + 17 - 118. Leaving (17/8)y alone, evaluate 17 - 118:
(17y/8) - 101
You could leave your answer in this form, or combine the terms using the LCD 8:
17y - 808

8
Given:
Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.
She picked 30 apples.
To find:
The number of apples on the tree in the beginning.
Solution:
Let x be the number of apples on the tree in the beginning.
Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.
Number of apples picked = 75% of x
= 
= 
She picked 30 apples.

Multiply both sides by 4.


Divide both sides by 3.


Therefore, the number of apples on the tree in the beginning is 40.
