Thats four questions, but okay :) 1.) 1 16/32 is just an hour and a half, and 1 2/8 is a hour and 15 minutes. that adds up to 2 hours and 3/4 or 2 hours and 45 minutes. 6-2 3/4 =3 1/4 hours, or 3 hours 15 minutes. 2.) convert the 1/3 and 2/5 into 10/30 and 12/30 so they have the same denominator, add them. that equals 22/30. now convert the 9/10 into 27/30 for easy subtraction. 27/30 minus 22/30 is 5/30, simplify that and it is 1/6. so betty needs a 1/6 of a gallon more. 3.) 32 6/12 is just 32 and 1/2. and thats 1/5 of his stuff. so take 32.5 and multiply it by 5, which equals 162.5 minutes. that is 2 hours 42 minutes, and 30 seconds. 4.) take 6 3/8 and multipy that by three for one week. that is 19.125. now multipy that by three since there are three weeks. that equals 57.375 which as a fraction is 57 3/8. so he would run 57 and 3/8 miles in three weeks of training. sorry about my spelling, im ust trying to type fast so you can get this fast. :)
Multiply the average by the number of tests to find the total of the scores:
82 x 3 = 246
88 x 3 = 264
The total of the three tests would need to be between 246 and 264
The total of the first two tests is 79 + 85 = 164
Subtract the total of the first two from the totals above:
246 - 164 = 82
264 - 164 = 100
The score of the third test needs to be between 82 and 100
1) find the lcd the lcd is 12
2)rewrite the fractions 1/4 and 2/3 using 12 as the denominator (second column) you get 3/12 and 8/12
3) since its confusing to subtract 8/12 from 3/12 you need to borrow one form the 126 doing so is the same as taking 12/12 from 126 this change to 125 and the 12/12 adds to the 3/12 making it 15/12
4) subtract 8/12 form 15/12 to get 7/12
5) subtract 78 form 125 to get 47
6) the answer is 47 7/12
Answer:
Work backwards to solve this problem.
If he ends with 32 cookies, then subtract 12. That gives 20 cookies. 20*2 is 40, so now he has 40 cookies.
