Answer: 7/45, 7/18
Step-by-step explanation:5/9 - 2/5 = 25/45 - 18/45 = 25 - 18/45 = 7/45
and 1/2 - 1/9 = 9/18 - 2/18 = 7/18
Answer:
176 feet per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:½((n/2) – ½) – ½ = 10
½(n/2) – ¼ - ½ = 10 (using the distributive property)
¼n – ¼ - ½ = 10 (multiplying to eliminate the parentheses)
¼n – ¾ = 10 (combining like terms)
¼n = 10¾ (adding ¾ to both sides of the equation)
n = 43 (dividing both sides of the equation by ¼)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s start by writing Josie’s first step as an expression. Dividing n by 2, then subtracting ½ from
the result would be (n/2) – ½. If we build on this expression with the information in Josie’s
second step, we get ½((n/2) – ½) – ½. Knowing the final result is 10, we can set up the equation
below, and solve for n as follows: hope this helps
