Answer:
47. 1 5/8
48. 1 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>47. </em>
<em>First, convert the denominators to be the same.</em>
8 1/2 minutes, Ruby's mile time, can be converted to 8 4/8.
<em>Then subtract.</em>
8 4/8 - 6 7/8 = 1 5/8
<em>48.</em>
<em>Make sure the denominators are the same. Both denominators can be multiplied by 3 or 4 to become 12.</em>
1 1/4 can be multiplied by 3 to get 1 3/12. And 1 1/3 can be multiplied by 4 to get 2 4/12.
<em>Then subtract.</em>
2 4/12 - 1 1/3 = 1 1/12
Answer:
each pair of socks cost $2.49
Step-by-step explanation:
Eric spent $22.00, including sales tax on 2 jerseys and 3 pairs of socks. The jerseys cost $6.75 each and the total sales tax was $1.03. How much did each pair of socks cost?
Solution:
The total money spent was $22.00. 2 jerseys costing $6.75 each was bought, the total tax was $1.03. 3 pairs of socks was bought, Let S represent the cost for each pair of socks. The total money spent is the sum of the money spent on jersey, socks and tax. Hence:
2(6.75) + 3S + 1.03 = 22
13.5 + 3S + 1.03 = 22
14.53 + 3S = 22
3S = 22 - 14.53
3S = 7.47
S = 2.49
Hence each pair of socks cost $2.49
Bisect typically means half but since we aren't given angle at the start so we can just have to solve for x.
(3x + 8) = (5x - 4)
3x = 5x - 12
-2x = -12
x = 6
Best of Luck!
