Answer: 1 / 126

Explanation:

To subtract fractions with differen denominators you must convert to equivalent fractions with the same denominator.

The best practice is to convert to fractions with the least common denominator.

Given that 8/36 is not the simplest form, you can start to simplify it, by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4:

8/36 = 2/9

Now find the least common denominator of 9 and 14. That is found by decomposing the numbers and taking the product of  the common and not common prime  factors each raised to the its greates power.

  9 = (3^2)
14 = (2)(7)

Therefore the least common denominator is: (2)(3^2)(7) = 126

So, convert both fractions to the equivalent fraction with denominator 126:

2 * 14           28
---------- =  ----------
9 * 14         126

 3 * 9        27
-------- = --------
14 * 9      126

Now you subtract the two fractions with the same denominator:

  28        27         1
------ -  ------- = -------
126      126       126

Answer: 1/126

I need help? With proof for this one.
Schach [20]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is an isosceles triangle with BA = BC.

That makes angles A and C congruent.

ABD is an isosceles triangle with AB = AD.

That makes angles ABD and ADB congruent.

Since m<ABD = 72 deg, then m<ADB = 72 deg.

Angles ADB and CDB are a linear pair which makes them supplementary.

m<ADB + m<BDC = 180 deg

72 deg + m<BDC = 180 deg

m<CDB = 108 deg

In triangle ABD, the sum of the measures of the angles is 180 deg.

m<A + m<ADB + m<ABD = 180 deg

m<A + 72 deg + 72 deg = 180 deg

m<A = 36 deg

m<C = 36 deg

In triangle BCD, the sum of the measures of the angles is 180 deg.

m<CBD + m<C + m<BDC = 180 deg

m<CBD + 36 deg + 108 deg = 180 deg

m<CBD = 36 deg

In triangle CBD, angles C and CBD measure 36 deg making them congruent.

Opposite sides DB and DC are congruent making triangle BCD isosceles.

So I = Prt 

I for interest charge 
P for principal ($4,840)  
r for rate (6%)
t for time (2 yrs) 

So you would then plug the information into the equation.....

I = 4,840*.06*2 
I = 580.80 

So the answer to your question is $580.80 which is option B

Hope this helps! :)

Translate this sentence into an equation.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

r - 12 = 74

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between his height with 12 would signify subtraction with 12, and that difference is 74. Meaning, his height, minus 12, would equal 74.
