Answer:
Ella grew
of an inch more
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.
This expression would be
-
.
To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).
In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by
and the second by
.
This makes the expression
-
, which equals
.

400 - 3x = 163
Add 3x to both sides.
400 = 163 + 3x
Subtract 163 to both sides.
237 = 3x
237/3 = 79
The rise in temperature by 11 degrees Fahrenheit can be represented by the temperature change, ΔT = +11 °F. The temperature change is positive because the temperature increased as stated in the question. Moreover, the formula for temperature change is: ΔT = T_final - T_initial. This means that for this case, the final temperature is higher than the initial temperature.
You calculate an answer by multiplying each side by each other. hope this helps.
