Answer:

  • \frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}          

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the value of a number 'a' be = 8/15
  • Let the value of a number 'b' be = 2/3

The difference between the two numbers can be calculated by subtracting the numbers

a-b=\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)

\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a

         =\frac{8}{15}-\frac{-2}{3}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}

          =\frac{8}{15}-\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a

          =\frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{3}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

          =\frac{8+10}{15}

          =\frac{18}{15}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:3

           =\frac{6}{5}

Thus,

  • \frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}

Ratling [72]
If you have 90 pills from the pharmacy every 28 days, and you take 3 per day, but lost 8. You will end up with 82 when you lost the 8 pills. Does it tell you how many days you took the pills for or is it just asking what you have left after losing 8 of them?

Laine reads 25 pages in 30 minutes. If Laine reads 200 pages at this same rate, how long will it take her
tester [92]
Set up a table.

Pages | Minutes
-----------------------
25. | 30
? | 200


One way is to cross multipy.
200 x 25 = 5,000
30 x ? = 5,000

So do 5,000 divided by 30 and you get your answer

Factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y. (i will mark brainlyest)
mash [69]

Answer:

-1/4 (2x - 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y

We will have to multiply the values in bracket by the reciprocal of -1/4 i.e -4 as shown

-1/2x - 5/4 y

= -1/4 (-4(-1/2x) - (-4)(-5/4y))

= -1/4 (4/2 x - 20/4 y)

= -1/4 (2x - 5y)

Hence the factored expression is -1/4 (2x - 5y)
