8/12- 3/8 show your work with a quation

Lubov Fominskaja [6]2 years ago

Answer:

Here's how to subtract 3/8 from 8/12:

8

12

−

3

8

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 8 by 8, and get 64.

Then we multiply 3 by 12, and get 36.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.

So now our fractions look like this:

64

96

−

36

96

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

64 − 36 = 28

So the answer is:

28

96

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

28

96

÷ 2 =

14

48

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

14

48

÷ 2 =

7

24

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 11...

No good. 11 is larger than 7. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! The final answer is: 0.29166666666

What is the compound interest of 10400 at 12.7% for 4 year
Naddik [55]

The Compound Interest of 10400 at 12.7% for 4 years is 6378.

The principal amount is given as 10400.

The rate of interest is given as 12.7%.

The time period to be calculated is given as 4 years.

The compound interest for the given above is to be calculated.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the interest that we earn both on the principal amount and the interest we earn.

The formula used to calculate compound interest is:                                  

   P [ (1 + \frac{R}{100} )^n - 1 ]

Where P = principal amount, R = rate of interest, and n = number of years.

We have,

P = 10400

R = 12.7%

n = 4 years

Compound interest:

P [ (1 + \frac{R}{100} )^n - 1 ]\\\\10400 [ (1 + \frac{12.7}{100} )^4 - 1 ]

Now,

10400 [ ( 1 + 0.12.7 )^2 - 1 ]

10400 [ 1.127^4 - 1 ]

10400 [ 1.61322 - 1 ]

10400 x 0.6132

6377.56

Rounding to the nearest whole number.

We have,

Compound Interest = 6378.

Thus the Compound Interest of 10400 at 12.7% for 4 years is 6378.
