(when you have fractions like the one in this problem, you get rid of them by multiplying both sides by the denominator.)
2 3/8 - 1/4 = 2 1/8 x 1/8 = 17/64.
To do this, you first need to do the problem in the (). You have to turn 1/4 with a denominator of eight, so the fraction becomes 2/8. 2 3/8 - 2/8 = 2 1/8. Now we have to turn 2 1/8 into an improper fraction by doing whole number x denominator + numerator. 17/8 x 1/8 = 17/64.
Answer:
A dress originally costs $120
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the original cost of the dress, we will follow the steps below;
let x represent the original cost of the dress
75% of x = $90
× x = $90
= $90
MULTIPLY both-side of the equation by 100
× 100 = $90×100
At the right-hand side of the equation, 100 will cancel out 100, leaving us with just 75x
75x = $9000
DIVIDE both-side of the equation by 75
75x/75 = $9000/75
At the left-hand side of the equation 75 will cancel-out 75 leaving us with just x
x= $9000/75
x = $120
A dress originally costs $120
We can solve this by using the formula:
(x, y) (x + a, y + b) = (5,-4) (-2,1)
So, plugging in the values and solving for a and b,
5 + a = -2
a = -8
-4 + b = 1
b = 5
Therefore, the translation is
(x,y) (x - 8, y +5)
D. The economy of the Soviet Union was falling behind that of other major industrialized nations.
