Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:
you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4
then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.
so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left
Answer:
My guess would be B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
A scale factor of 4/5 means that each side length or distance is multiplied by 4/5. 10*4/5=8. Hope this helps!
answer:
$6.65
Step-by-step explanation:
He would earn 21 quarters in 3 weeks.
Because there are 7 days in a week: Multiply 7×3=21
21 quaters in dollars is equal to $5.25
So you add $1.40+$5.25=$6.65
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = 8 -----------(I)
x - 2y = -4 -----------(II)
Add equation (I) & (II) and thus y will be eliminated and we can get the value of 'x'
(I) x + 2y = 8
(II) <u>x - 2y = -4</u><u> </u>{Now add}
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 in equation (I)
2 + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 2
2y = 6
y = 6/2
y = 3
