What is 3 1/4 - (-5/8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

First we need to find a common denominator;

3 1/4 and -5/8 have a common denominator of 8

-5/8 already has 8 now we alter 3 1/4 to have 8 as the denominator as well.

if we make 3 1/4 into an improper fraction we would get 13/4

13/4 x 2/2 = 26/8, because 2 x 4 = 8 so we also apply that to the numerator

Now we have;

26/8 - (-5/8)

the two negatives combine to make a positive:

26/8 + 5/8

= 31/8 which simplifies to

3 7/8

12(months) x 20 (years) = 240

10.98 x 240 = 2635.20

So Arthur will pay $2635.20 over 20 years for premium.
