Hi,
I assume the forward slash meant it as a fraction VS it being a division symbol. To answer your question, the remainder is 10.
Hope this helps.
-- A "mixed number" is (a whole number) plus (a fraction).
-- Two mixed numbers = (two whole numbers) and (two fractions).
-- The smallest whole number is ' 1', so when you add up all of that,
the smallest possible sum is (2) plus (two fractions).
-- So the sum must always be greater than 2 .
============================================
<em>THAT'S IF BOTH MIXED NUMBERS ARE POSITIVE </em>.
<em>If one of them is negative</em>, then it's easy to do:
(3 and 1/2) + negative (1 and 1/2) = <u>2</u>
(25 and 7/10) + negative (23 and 7/10) = <u>2</u>
I do not know what kind of answer you may want but here is a few you might be asking for
(1). Every 12 games Alice wins 8 games and looses 4. ( 8/12 )
(2). Alice wins 2/3 games against a computer. ( 8/12 )
(3). Alice wins 66% of games she plays against a computer.
There you go.
This is how you interpret the data and use it to solve the problem.
You can do this as direct proportion problem.
The number of gallons filled is proportional to the number of hours, and the rate of filling is:
rate = number of gallons / number of hours
From the two data in the second column you have:
number of hours = 3/4 h = 0.75 h
number of gallons = 637 + 1/2 gallons = 637.5 gallons
=>rate = 637.5 gal / 0.75 h = 850 gal/h
In the second column you have the number of hours and want to find the number of gallons, so assuming direct proportionality:
number of hours = 1/4 = 0.25
rate = 637.5 / 0.75 = x / 0.25
=> x = 0.25 * rate = 0.25 h * 850 gal/h = 212.5 gallons.
And from the third column:
number of hours = 1 + 1/2 hours = 1.5 hours
rate = x / 1.5 => x = 1.5h * rate = 850gal/h * 1.5h = 1275 gallons
With that you have already solved a. and b.
You should know how to answer c. and d. This is how:
c. number of gallons = 5.5 hours
number of gallons = rate * number of hours = 850 gal/h * 5.5 h = 4675 gal.
d. number of gallons = 100 gal
rate = 100 gal / number of hours => number of hours = 100 gal / rate
=> number of hours = 100 gal / 850 gal/h = (2/17) h
Pass to minutes => (2/17) h * 60 min/h ≈ 7 min
The next term is 36. and then 49.
