Simplify -2 1/6 - ( -7 1/3 )

Mathematics
1 answer:
givi [52]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that - ( -7 1/3) = 7 1/3.  The two ' - ' signs cancel each other.

Thus, the original expression becomes -2 1/6  +  7 1/3.

Here the LCD is 6.  We re-write the above expression as -2 1/6 + 7 2/6.

Reversing the order of these terms makes the work a bit easier.

7 2/6 - 2 1/6 comes out to 5 1/6

A sandwich costs $0.75 more than a container of milk. A customer buys 4 sandwiches and 4 containers of milk. The customer pays $
Step2247 [10]
Assume that the cost of the milk is x.
We are given that a sandwich costs 0.75$ more than the cost of milk. This means that:
cost of sandwich = cost of milk + 0.75
cost of sandwich = x + 0.75

Now, the customer bought 4 sandwiches and 4 containers of milk at the cost of 7$.
We will transform this into an equation as follows:
total cost = cost of 4 sandwiches + cost of 4 containers of milk
7 = 4(x+0.75) + 4(x)

Solve the above equation to get x as follows:
7 = 4x + 3 + 4x
7-3 = 8x
8x = 4
x = 0.5

Therefore:
cost of milk = x = $0.5
cost of sandwich = x+0.75 = 0.5+0.75 = $1.25

Solve -no - 80 &lt; 60 for n. Show the work.
o-na [289]
-np - 80 < 60....add 80 to both sides
-np < 80 + 60
-np < 140...divide both sides by p
-n < 140/p ...now multiply by -1 to make n positive, and change inequality sign
n > -140/p

maksim [4K]
Her conclusion that 90% of the student body wants the colors changed is an INCORRECT conclusion. The 90% out of 100% is not referring to the total numbers of the student body.For example, 100 people are members of student body if only 50 members responded the survey, then we have:
 90% of 50 members who answered the survey said that they want the changed.
