Lets say you have 5 apples, but the you give away 3 of them.
To work how many you have left you take away.
5-3 = 2
Lets apply this with fractions now.
You have 9/7 yard, but then you give away 7/20 yard.
Now you take them away:
9/7 minus 7/20 = 131/140
Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It will take about 35.439 years to triple.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the formula for continuously compounded interest:

where "A" is the total (accrued or future) accumulated value, "r" is the rate (in our case 0.031 which is the decimal form of 3.1%), "P" is the principal, and "t" is the time in years (our unknown).
Notice also that even that the final amount we want to get is three times $48,000. So our formula becomes:

Now,in order to solve for "t" (which is in the exponent, we use logarithms:

The trick with answering your 10s, 100s, 1000s, etc, is just adding zeroes onto the ends of the first number. So, since this is 14 times 1000, you would add 3 zeroes onto 14. So your answer is 14,000. Hope this helped!
First do 12-5, which equals 7. Next, subtract 1/10 from 2/5. 2/5 is the same as 4/10 if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2. 4/10-1/10=3/10. Now add 7 and 3/10. You will get 7 3/10 as the answer, which is letter C.)
