Answer:
The iron weighed 1/12 pound more than the aluminum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the aluminum is given as 1/2 pound. But that can also be written as 6/12 pound.
This is a subtraction problem (subtracting fractions...so also a common denominator problem)
In order to subtract fractions you have to get a common denominator.
7/12 - 1/2
= 7/12 - 6/12
= 1/12
The iron is 1/12 pound heavier than the aluminum.
Answer:
x=a/(y-k)+h
Step-by-step explanation:
y-k=a/(x-h)
(y-k)(x-h)=a
xy-hy-kx+kh=a
xy-kx=a+hy-hk
x(y-k)=a+h(y-k)
x=a/(y-k)+h
Since the decimal of 8% is 0.08 te fraction is 8/100 and in simpest form it is 2/25 The closest benchmark is 2/25
