What is the answer to 2/3 - 7/15=

Mathematics
1 answer:
elixir [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 7/15

Now when dealing with fractions, alas make the dominator ( bottom number the same), and the rule of thumb is, whatever u do to the bottom, must be done to the top

2 7

-------- - - - - - -

3 15

So now u should think, how to make 3 to 15, so u multiply it by 5, therefore u would also need to multiply it to the top

2 x 5 7

-------- - - - - - -

3 x 5 15

10 7

-------- - - - - - -

15 15

Now just minus horizontally ( u don't need to minus the dominator)

3

---------

15

Now can u make this fraction smaller? As in, is there a number that u can divide to the top and bottom, yes, that number is 3 in this case

3 ÷3

---------

15 ÷3

= 1

- - - - -

5

Thats your final answer

Latoya has a large collection of basketball cards. She gave half to a friend and a 1/4 to her brother. She still has 75 cards le
Murljashka [212]

Answer: She had 200 cards to start with

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of cards she had initially. This means she had x cards to start with.

She gave half of the cards she had to a friend. This means she gave her friend x/2 cards. She is left with with (x-x/2) = x/2 cards.

She also gave 1/4 of the remaining cards to her brother. This means that she gave (1/4 × x/2) = x/8 cards to her brother.

Remaining number of cards will be x/2 - x/8 = (4x-x)/8 = 3x/8

She still has 75 cards left. This means

3x/8 = 75

Cross multiplying with 8, it becomes

3x = 75×8 = 600

x = 600/3 = 200

She had 200 cards to start with.
