Because 1/8 and 2/8 have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
1+2/8
add 1 and 2 to get 3
3/8 or 0.375
Answer:
The line between 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 is exactly 1 3/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 = 1 6/8
Since the lines are every 1/8 of a cup, there are a total of 16 lines indicating 1/8 of a cup for a total of two full cups.
1/8 less than 1 6/8 is 1 5/8.
1/8 more than 1 6/8 is 1 7/8.
The line between 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 is exactly 1 3/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the missing sides measurement.
x+x+28=52
combine like terms
2x + 28 = 52
subtract 28 from both sides
2x + 28 = 52
- 28 - 28
2x = 24
divide both sides by 2
x = 12

I was confused at first until I realized that you'd shared not one, not two, but three questions in one post. would you please post just one question at a time to avoid this.
I'll focus on your second question only: Solve <span>3 + |2x - 4| = 15.
Subtr. 3 from both sides. Result: |2x - 4| = 12
Divide all terms by 2, to reduce: |x - 2| = 6
Case 1: x-2 is already +, so we don't need | |:
x - 2 = 6 => x = 8 (first answer)
Case 2: x-2 is negative, so |2x-4| = -(2x-4) = 6
Then -2x + 8 = 6. Subtr. 8 from both sides: -2x = -2
Div both sides by -2: x = 1 (second answer)
Be sure to check these results by subst. them into the original equation.
Please post your other questions separately. Thanks and good luck!

87.5 percent
Reason: 40/40-5/40 is 35/40. Divide 35/40 and you get 0.875. Multiply by a hundred and you get 87.5%
