So the board is divided into 5 pieces, and 2/5 of the board is left. The leftovers equal 4 originals. This is equal to 4 times 5.
equation:
2/5(5x)=20
2x=20
x=10
He started with 10 boards.
Hope this helps!
All the fractions that you are subtracting have the same denominator so you just subtract the numerator.2/5-1/5=1/5
3/8-2/8=1/8
79-3/9 since you can simplify 3/9 by 3 you get 1/3 you get 79/1-1/3.the common denominator is 3 so you multiply 79/1 by 3 and 1/3 by 1 and then you get 237/3-1/3 and you get 236/3. then you turn it from an improper fraction into a mixed number. 236 divided by and you get 78.6 repeating
Answer:
Kim is 16 years old and her sister is 8 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use equations to represent this scenario.
Let Kim's age be 'k' and her sister's age be 's'.
Thus, k=2s (since Kim's age is double of her sister)
and k+s=24 (their ages add to 24 (from question)
Substituting the first equation:
2s+s=24
3s=24
s=8
Therefore, Kim's sister is 8 years old.
Now substitute this value into the second equation:
k+8=24
k=16
Therefore, Kim is 16 years old.
Answer:
9 tables
Step-by-step explanation:
All we have to do is see how many time 6³/₄ ft. can fit in 60³/₄ ft. through division.
60 ³/₄ ÷ 6 ³/₄ =
²⁴³/₄ ÷ ²⁷/₄ =
²⁴³/₄ × ⁴/₂₇ =
²⁴³/₂₇ =
