The denominator must be the same, so just think of the LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE, The LCM here is 8, because you can multiply 4 by 2 to get 8.
so when you multiply, you multiply both on the top and on the bottom, so this would be:
3 x 2 / 4 x 2 = 6 / 8
Now you can add or subtract: 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
Answer:
w = -15
Step-by-step explanation:
-5w = 7 - 4w + 8
Grouping like terms together,
-5w+4w = 7+8
-w = 15
w = -15
Answer:
A Variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Variables are used to mark an unknown value. Common math problems ask you to solve for it.
For example in 5x+23=45, 'x' is the variable.
A constant is a number without a variable.

a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
Ron walks 1/2 mile in 10 minutes. There are six 10 minute intervals in an hour 60 divided by 10 is 6. So, therefore he can walk 1 mile in 20 minutes, 1/3 of an hour and a total of 3 miles per hour.
3 x 20 = 60.
Stevie walks 1/4 of a mile in 6 minutes, so that's 12 minutes to walk 1/2 mile. 60/12=5
Stevie can walk 5 half miles which transfers to 2 1/2 miles per hour.
