When subtracting fractions with the same denominator (in this case 8) you only have to worry about the numerator (7&3)

ANSWER - 7/8-3/8= 4/8

Now since you can simplify 4/8 you would divide both by 4 and your simplified answer is 1/2.

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2

What is the surface area of the figure shown above
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

  230 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of each parallelogram face is ...

  A = bh = (8 cm)(3 cm) = 24 cm^2

The area of the two rectangular faces shown is ...

  A = (area of top face) + (area of right side face)

  A = (8 cm)(7 cm) +(5 cm)(7 cm) = 91 cm^2

The three faces we have figured the area of are half the total area, since there are three more faces exactly the same size. Then the total area of the figure is ...

  total surface area = 2(24 cm^2 +91 cm^2) = 230 cm^2

_____

Of course, the area of a rectangle is given by A=L·W, where L and W represent the length and width of the rectangle.

Answer:

Weight of students in your class

Daily rainfall in Miami over a month

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is applied when the data is discrete/ continuous to present a visual understanding of the data by showing the number of data set fitting is a specified range.

A dot plot utilizes data which has only one measured variable, where the variable can be organized into categories.

Add. <br> (−2+6x^3−3x^2)+(4x^3−5+x^2)
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

10x^3 - 2x^2 -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract polynomials, you want to subtract the biggest exponent from the first polynomial to the second

so 6x^3 + 4x^3 and that would be 10x^3

then -3x^2 + x^2 and the negative is larger so it would be -2x^2

and finally -2 + -5 and that is -7

hope this helps! :)

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the function f(x) is a straight line. The "-4" means that the graph moves down 4 units. Point A is at y=-4, so this is the point. You can graph the equation and you'll see that it hits point A.
