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.

inessss [21]

Outbound Trip 120 miles 60 mph equals 2 hours

Return Trip 120 miles

Total Trip 240 miles at 45 mph average speed

Total time = distance / rate = 240 / 45 = 5.3333333333 Hours

The return trip of 120 miles takes (5.3333333333 Hours MINUS 2 hours)

If the exponential parent function,
laila [671]

Answer: f(x) =3^{-x}-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Some transformations for a function f(x) are shown below:

If f(x)+k, the function is translated up "k" units.

If f(x)-k, the function is translated down "k" units.

If -f(x), the function is reflected across the x-axis.

If f(-x), the function is reflected across the y-axis.

Therefore, knowing those transformations and given the exponential parent function:

f(x) = 3^x

If it is reflected across the y-axis and the it is  translated down 4 units, we can determine that the resulting function is:

f(x) =3^{-x}-4

16,000 rolls of paper were purchased and 12,500 were sold at $1.79, what is the total ending inventory?
Maslowich
12,500 x 1.79 to find the price but 16,000 - 12,500 to get how many were left. 
12,500 x 1.79 = $22,375 that they made from selling. 16,000 - 12,500 = 3,500 rolls left in the inventory. This question confused me so I just gave both answers.
