Answer:

B: 8 7/8 Lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

answer = 15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{1}{2} -2\frac{3}{4}

step 1 find a common denominator

common denominator - 8

* apply *

\frac{1^*^1}{8^*^8} =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{1^*^4}{2^*^4} =\frac{4}{8} \\\\\frac{3^*^2}{4^*^2} =\frac{6}{8}

now we have

15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{4}{8} -2\frac{6}{8}

step 2 make each fraction a improper fraction

We can do this my multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding that to the numerator.

15*8=120\\120+1=121\\\frac{121}{8} \\\\3*8=24\\24+4=28\\\frac{28}{8} \\\\2*8=16\\16+6=22\\\frac{22}{8}

now we have

\frac{121}{8} -\frac{28}{8} -\frac{22}{8}

Now we can subtract

remember when subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. ( so we keep the denominator as 8 )

so 121 - 28 - 22 = 71

so the answer is \frac{71}{8}

finally we want to change the answer back into a mixed fraction

To do this we divided 71 and 8

8 can go into 71 8 times

8 * 8 = 64

71 - 64 = 7

We're left with 8\frac{7}{8}

What's the answer to this 94<-2(1+6b)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

-8 > b

Step-by-step explanation:

94<-2(1+6b)

Distribute

94<-2-12b

Add 2 to each side

94+2<-2-12b +2

96 < -12b

Divide each side by -12, remembering to flip the inequality since we divide by a negative

96/-12 > -12b/-12

-8 > b
