Answer:
B) 34/48
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.
__
The difference is ...
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result
__
Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
He could only make one team, considering that if you do 12-9, you are left with 3, and Jason wants to have his team consisted of 9 players. However, if you make 3 teams with 4 players on each team, or 4 teams with 3 players on each team, you could do that as well.
2.5 years = 30 months
7500$ in 30 months
x$ in 1 month
___________________
x = (7500*1)/30 = 250
The answer is 250$/month.
So, how much acid is there in 6 gallons? well is 20% acid or (20/100), so the amount of acid in it just (20/100) * 6 or 1.2, the rest is say water.
now, if we want a 90% solution, and say we add "y" gallons, how much acid is in it? well (90/100) * y, or 0.9y.
now let's add "x" gallons of pure acid, now, pure acid is just pure acid, so is 100% acid, how much acid is there in it? (100/100) * x, or 1x or just x.
we know whatever "x" and "y" amounts are, they -> x + 6 = y
and we also know that x + 1.2 = 0.9y
Answer: (B) 3 times as fast
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
rate of change is the "slope" between the given interval.
f(x) = 125(.9)ˣ
f(1) = 125(.9)¹
= 112.5
f(5) = 125(.9)⁵
= 73.8
********************
f(11) = 125(.9)¹¹
= 39.2
f(15) = 125(.9)¹⁵
= 25.7
********************
The rate of change from years 1 to 5 is approximately 3 times the rate of change from years 11 to 15.
