How do I simplify 3/8-6/7

Mathematics

Answer:

\frac{-27}{56}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will subtract.

[] Let's find common denominators.

8 -> 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, <u>56</u>, 64, 72, 80

7 -> 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, <u>56</u>

\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3*7}{8*7}  =\frac{21}{56}

\frac{6}{7} =\frac{6*8}{7*8} =\frac{48}{56}

(multiplying by these numbers does not affect them because, for example, \frac{8}{8}=1)

[] Subtract across the numerators, the denominator stays the same

\frac{21}{56} -\frac{48}{56} =\frac{-27}{56}

[] Simplify

-> To simplify, we can find common factors

For 27: <u>1</u>, 3, 9, and 27

For 56: <u>1</u>, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56

-> \frac{-27}{56} does not have any common factors besides one, so it is fully simplified

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

A survey of 50 people found that 14 people like building a snowman. If 600 people had responded, how many would have been expect
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

168, a little of both

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 14 out of 50, 14/50 simplified its 7/25, multiply it by 600 and you get 168 its a little of both because half the info we were given its experimental since it is not theorized, what we're being given (the question) and what we gave is theorized since we didn't actually perform an experiment to get a real answer

Help me plss, number 2.​
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

At (-2,0) gradient is -4 ; At (2,0) gradient is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we simply need to take the derivative of the function and evaluate when y = 0 (when crossing the x-axis).

y = x^2 - 4

y' = 2x

The function y = x^2 - 4 cross the x-axis when:

y = x^2 - 4

0 = x^2 - 4

4 = x^2

2 +/- = x

Hence, this curve crosses the x-axis twice, once at (-2,0) and again at (2,0).

The gradient at these points are as follows:

y' = 2(-2) = -4

y' = 2(2) = 4

Cheers.

A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The satellite has 30 modular units.

There are equal numbers of non-upgraded sensors in each unit.

Let us assume that on the entire satellite there are x numbers of upgraded sensors.

Then as per the given condition, there are \frac{x}{5} number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Therefore, the number of non-upgraded sensors on the entire satellite is \frac{30x}{5} =6x

Hence, total number of sensors in the satellite is (x+ 6x) =7x

Therefore, the required fraction of the upgraded sensors is \frac{x}{7x} =\frac{1}{7}. (Answer)
