Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it's kinda confusing b/c of the minus signs.. huh... but -5 is less than -2 sooo

start with

-2 1/2 - (-5 3/4 )

=5 3/4 - 2 1/2

=5 3/4 - 2 2/4

=23/4 - 10/4

=13/4

there you go... :)

if you want it back in proper fractions

3 1/4

What is the volume of the following rectangular prism?<br> 21/2 units <br> 8/3 units

xeze [42]

Answer:

28 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = Al ( A is the area of end face and l is the length )

Here A = $\frac{21}{2}$ and l = $\frac{8}{3}$ , thus

V = $\frac{21}{2}$ × $\frac{8}{3}$ ( cancel 21 and 3 by 3 and 2 and 8 by 2 )

= $\frac{7}{1}$ × $\frac{4}{1}$ = 7 × 4 = 28 units³

Five over seven plus blank over six equals fifty one over forty two

NISA [10]

Answer:

The blank is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Give the blank a variable

x = our blank

2 - Write it out

$\frac{5}{7} + \frac{x}{6} = \frac{51}{42}$

3 - Get the denominators equal

$\frac{5}{7}(\frac{6}{6}) +\frac{x}{6}(\frac{7}{7}) = \frac{51}{42} \\\frac{30}{42}+\frac{7x}{42} = \frac{51}{42}$

4 - Simplify

$\frac{30+7x}{42} = \frac{51}{42} \\ \frac{30+7x}{42} = \frac{51}{42}$

5 - Solve for the numerators

30+7x = 51

-30 -30

7x = 21

x = 3
