numerator = top part of the fraction
denominator = bottom part of the fraction
* means multiply
a.
you can only add the numerator when the denominator is the same
cant add the denominator
denominator has to be the same
1/5 = 4/20
4/20 + 7/20 = 11/20
b.
1 7/8 = 15/8
3/4 ÷ 15/8 =
3/4 * 8/15 =
24/60 = divide both top and bottom by 12 =
2/5
Answer:
There is a total 50 questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total questions in the exam
Since 82% of the test was scored correctly, that means 18% of the student's exam was scored incorrectly.
With this information we can write:
(Given that the student made 9 mistakes)
(divide 18% on both sides)
∴ There was a total of 50 questions in the examination.
Answer:.75
Step-by-step explanation:
2x5/18 =.55555
.556 root is .745 the five makes the 4 round up
Alright, so we have 1.3/0.0338. Since it's easier (in my opinion) to work with whole numbers, we can multiply the fraction by 10000/10000 to get 13000/338. With a bit of guess and check, we can see that
338*30=338*3*10
1 2 (what I carry is at the top)

____
1114
Multiplying that by 10, I get 11140, which isn't enough. Trying 338*40, which is 338*4*10, we can add 338 to 338*3 to get 338*4 to get

1114
+338
____
1462
Multiplying that by 10, we get 14620, which is more than 13000 - something we don't want. Repeating this for 338*35 (which is 338*3.5*10, and 3.5 is 3*338+338/2)=11830 and which isn't enough, we then move on to something between 35 and 40 (the number doesn't matter), say 39. 338*39=338*3.9*10, and 338*3.9 is 338*3+338*9/10, and
338*39 results to 13182, which is more than 13000 , but only by a tiny bit, so we can try 38 using the same method, getting 12844, which is smaller, so we know it's between 38 and 39. Finding the difference between 13000 and 12844, we get 13000-12844=156 and the answer is therefore 38+156/338
