Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators

Mathematics
1 answer:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3/12 or simplified 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First make the denominators the same. We can make 12 the common denominator. To make 3/4 have a denominator do the following:

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 since 4x3=12. The new number becomes 9/12.

Then subtract:

9/12-6/12=3/12  The numerator subtracts while the denominator stays the same.

We can simplify 3/12 to 1/4

Nicole bought six pounds of apples at $1.50 per pound. The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. Nicole and her fri
Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.

Each pound of apple cost $1.50

This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be

6 × 1.5 = $9

The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is

9 - 2 = $7

If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be

x = 7/2
