Answer:

add the subtrahend to the difference

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual way to check a subtraction problem is to add the subtrahend to the difference to see if you get the minuend as a result.

Paloma can add 5/8 to her result to see if she gets 1 3/4.

She can also perform the subtraction using decimal fractions to see if she gets the same result.

1.750 -0.625 = 1.125

You need to put everything to one side and equal to 120. Then you combine all like terms.
then you subtract 24 with 120. You get 94/24=4

10x+6x+16+8x+8=120
24x+24=120
-24 -24
____________
24x=96
/24 /24
X=4

A student needs 3/4 pounds of modeling clay for a project. If each package has 1/8 pounds of clay how many packages of clay does

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

6 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.

8 * 0.75 = 6

This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.
