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

Divide 2.00 by 0.50 to get 4.

The answer for c. is 4%

Honestly this was kinda rushed because I'm in the middle of a quiz so yea hope this helps you.

explain how you know the relationship between the admission fee for a group and the number of people in the group is linear
Crank

This function has the y-intercept (0,0).  What this means is that if there are no people in this group, no admission fee is payable.  For each new person added to the group, the total admission fee payable would increase by a fixed amount, which would be the unit fee per person (e. g., $5/person).
