(5/3) - (1/2) = ? ;
____________________________________
The LCD (lowest common denominator) of "2 and 3" is "6" ;
So we need to rewrite EACH fraction in the problem as a fraction with "6" in the denominator ;
____________________________
(5/3) = (?/6) ? ; (6÷3=2) ; (5/3) = (5*2)/(3*2) = 10/6 ;
____________________________
(1/2) = (?/6) ? ; (6÷2=3) ; (1/2) = (1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6 ;
____________________________
Rewrite the problem: " (5/3) - (1/2) " ; as:
____________________________
10/6 - 3/6 ;
____________________________________________
10/6 - 3/6 = (10 - 3) / 6 = (7/6) = 1 ⅙ .

The answer is: " ⁷/₆ " ; or, write as: " 1 ⅙ " ; which corresponds to:

Answer:
The principal must be = $8991.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for compound interest is:
Where A is the amount after 't' years.
P is the principal amount
n is the number of times interest is compounded each year.
r is the rate of interest.
Here, we are given that:
Amount, A = $15000
Rate of interest = 13 % compounded quarterly i.e. 4 times every year
Number of times, interest is compounded each year, n = 4
Time, t = 4 years.
To find, Principal P = ?
Putting all the given values in the formula to find P.
So, <em>the principal must be = $8991.88</em>
516+497+501+528+476= 2518
2518/5= 503.6
round up to 504
Solve for y for both equations then equate and solve:
5x + 9y = 160
9y = 160 - 5x
y = 160/9 - 5/9x
9x + 8y = 202
8y = 202 - 9x
y = 202/8 - 9/8x
160/9 - 5/9x = 202/8 - 9/8x (common denominator is 72)
1280/72 - 40/72x = 1818/72 - 81/72x
1818/72 - 1280/72 = 81/72x - 40/72x
538/72 = 41/72x
538 = 41x
538/41 = x
x = 13 5/41
