Answer:

Subtract: 5/8 - 1/6 = 5 · 3/8 · 3 - 1 · 4/6 · 4 = 15/24 - 4/24 = 15 - 4/24 = 11/24

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(8, 6) = 24. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 6 = 48. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In other words - five eighths minus one sixth = eleven twenty-fourths.

A line passes through points (2,5) and (5, 14). What is the slope of this line?

topjm [15]

We know that:

Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate

We are given:

First point = (2,5)

Second point = (5, 14)

Calculating the change in y coordinate:

change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y

Δy = 14 - 5

Δy = 9

Calculating the change in x coordinate:

Δx = second x - first x

Δx = 5 - 2

Δx = 3

Slope of the line:

Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)

Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]

Slope = 3

The rectangular rug has side lengths of 3 and 4 ft. What is the length of the diagonal? Draw a picture of the problem and solve.

Nadusha1986 [10]

ANSWER

The length of the diagonal is 5 ft

EXPLANATION

The diagram of the rug with the diagonal is:

The diagonal and the sides form a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find x, the length of the diagonal:

$\begin{gathered} x^2=3^2+4^2 \\ x=\sqrt[]{9+16} \\ x=\sqrt[]{25} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

Kia has 2 1/4 pounds of peppermint candies. She wants to put them in small bags, each about 3/8 of a pound . How many small bags

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When I am dealing with fractions I put them in money wise so 2 1/4 would be like 2.25 and 3/8 would be like 0.75.

So that means you divide 2.25 by 0.75 and that will give you three.

Therefore Kia can make 3 small bags of candies.
