Answer: 2 an 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this 2 ways
1. 6 and 8/12 - 4 and 7/12
--Start by subtracting the wholes.
-6-4=2
--Next subtract the individual fractions
-8/12-7/12= 1/12
-- All together you would get 2 and 1/12
However most questions might not be this easy (the next way will work every time)
2. 6 and 8/12 - 4 and 7/12
--Start by Making the numbers into improper fractions( that means that the number on top is larger than the one on bottom)
-(do this by multiplying the whole (6 or 4) by the denominator (12) then add that number to the numerator of the fraction)

6*12=72  
72/12 + 8/12 = 80/12
6 and 8/12= 80/12

4*12=48
48/12 +7/12 = 55/12
4 and 7/12= 55/12
--Next subtract the new improper fractions
-80/12-55/12= 25/12
-- last convert this improper fraction into a mixed fraction
You do this by seeing how many times the denominator (12) can go into the numerator(25)
12 can go into 25 two times because 12*2=24
This 2 is the whole number

Because 24 is one less than 25 there is 1 left over

This is the numerator of the fraction  2 AND (1/12)

In this diagram, ABAC – AEDF. If the<br> area of ABAC = 6 in?, what is the<br> area of AEDF?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

2.7 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles have the same angles, and all side lengths (or other distances) of one triangle have the same scaling factor to the side lengths of the other triangle.

so, we know the relation between the 2 baselines is 2/3, as this is the factor to turn the baseline of the large triangle into the baseline of the smaller triangle.

in other words

EF = BC × 2/3

2 = 3 × 2/3

correct

how do we calculate the area of a triangle ?

Area = baseline × height / 2

from BAC we know

Area = 6

baseline = 3

height = ?

6 = 3 × height / 2

12 = 3 × height

height = 4

aha !

now, EDF has a height too that we need to calculate is Area. and this height has the same scaling factor compared to the larger triangle as the side lengths : 2/3

so, for EDF we know

Area = ?

baseline = 2

height = 4 × 2/3 = 8/3

therefore, the area is

Area = (2 × 8/3) / 2 = (16/3) / 2 = 8/3 = 2.66666... ≈ 2.7

the shirt answer would be :

we know from the 2 baselines that the scaling factor for each distance is 2/3.

for the area we need to multiply 2 distances, so that means we have to multiply both by 2/3. and so on the formula for the area we have to use 2/3 × 2/3.

2/3 × 2/3 = 4/9

=>

Area small = Area large × 4/9 = 6 × 4/9 = 24/9 = 8/3 ≈ 2.7

Solve for q <br> Please help
n200080 [17]

Answer:

q<6

Step-by-step explanation:

First you do inverse operations to get all like terms on the same side

5q+43>-11q+70

     -43       -43

5q>-11q+27 = 4.5q<27

/-11   /-11

the sign in the middle flipped because we divided by a negative number

Next we do inverse operations to get q

4.5q<27

/4.5   /4.5

=q<6
