Answer:

6 11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to convert the fractions into improper fractions, where 8 7/8 would turn into 71/8 and 2 3/5 would turn into 13/5. Then you have to find a common denominator which would be 40, so you get 355/40 and 104/40. Then to find the remaining amount, you have to subtract 104/40 from the 355/40, so 355/40 - 104/40, which equals 251/40. This turns into 6 11/40, which can't be simplified any further. Hope this helps :)

Answer:6 11/40

Step-by-step explanation: You can change your units to decimals or to fractions of equal value.  Decimals are easier for this so 8 7/8= 8.875 and 2 3/5 =2.6.  Then subtract: 8.875-2.6= 6.275   You can now convert back to a fraction by simplifying the .275 into 11 by dividing by 25 and 1000 into 40 by dividing by 25.  6+11/40= 6 11/40 tea left

The sum of the two numbers is 52 and the difference is 28. Calculate the numbers.
Phantasy [73]

Let's set these two numbers as 'a' and 'b'

Now, let's set up equations based on the information known:

  • the sum of the two numbers is 52 --> a + b = 52
  • the difference is 28 --> a - b =28

Equations

  • a + b = 52 -- equation 1
  • a - b = 28 -- equation 2

Solve:

  (Equation 1) + (Equation 2)

  2a = 80

     a = 40 -- equation 3

  (Equation 3)

     40 + b = 52

       b = 12

So a  = 40 and b = 12

Hope that helps!

1. Define y-intercept of a line?
BartSMP [9]

1. The y-intercept of a line is on a graph where a line crosses through the y axis.

2. b is the y- intercept and m is the slope. For example something using y=mx+b could be written like y=3x+2 if the y-intercept is 2 and the slope is 3.

3. The slope is what describes the direction and steepness of a line on a graph. Rise and run mean that when you find a slope you must first find the rise over run. You must go from one dot on a graph to the next by first going up or down to where that you are on the same number on the y axis that the next point is, next go on the x axis and go left or right until you have reached the next point. For example if you went up 3 and over 2, the rise would be 3 and the run would be 2. The slope in that situation would be 3/2.

Hope this helps you.

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points (−1,−2) and (9,−10)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-10-(-2))/(9-(-1))

m=(-10+2)/(9+1)

m=-8/10

simplify

m=-4/5
