Subtract. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. 3 3/4 - 7/8

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

I find that fractions can be tricky, so I convert them to decimals before subtracting.

3 3/4 = 3.75

7/8 = 0.875

3.75 - 0.875 = 2.875

Knowing that 0.875 = 7/8, we now know that our answer is 2 7/8.

Hope this helps!

What is Division method?

Division method is used to distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is just opposite of multiplications.

For example, dividing 20 by 2 means splitting 20 into 2 equal groups of 10.

Given that;

The Henry family drove 276.5 miles on the family vacation.

And, They used 7.9 gallons of gas.

Now,

Since, In 7.9 gallons of gas distance cover by the Henry family = 276.5

Hence, In 1 gallons of gas distance cover by the Henry family = 276.5/7.9

= 276.5 / 7.9

= 35 miles

Thus, There are 35 miles per gallon of gas get on the trip.

To solve this problem you would have to write 276.5 over 7.9 and divide the numerator and denominator by 7.9 since you want miles per gallon (it should have a denominator of 1 after you divide). When you do this you will get 35, so the Henry family got 35 miles per gallon of gas on the trip.

What is 1/4 - [-3/8] =

Answers

1/4 - [-3/8]

(1)/(4)- (-(3)/(8))

Negative times negative become positive

(1)/(4) + (3)/(8)

Now to add fractions we make the denominator same

4  and 8 are in the denominator

Least common denominator of 4  and 8 is 8

To make denominators same , we multiply the numerator and denominator of first fraction by 2.

(1*2)/(4*2) + (3)/(8)

(2)/(8) + (3)/(8)

The denominators are same so we combine the numerators

(2+3)/(8)

(5)/(8)



(1)/(4)  -  ( - 3)/(8)  =  (5)/(8)
5/8 cross multiply on the top then multiply the denominator you get 20/32 reduce that it's 5/8

A box of cashews, peanuts, and almonds contains 144 nuts. For every 2 cashews, there are 3 peanuts and 7 almonds. How many more peanuts are there than cashews?

Answers

To solve this problem, first we need to find the number of peanuts, cashews, and almonds in the bag...

Total nuts=144

The ratio of cashews to peanuts to almonds can be shown as:

cashews:peanuts:almonds
2:3:7

Now lets add up the numbers in the ratio.

2+3+7=12

So, for every 12 nuts in the bag, 2 are cashews. For every 12 nuts in the bag, 3 are peanuts. For every 12 nuts in the bag, 7 are almonds. 

Now lets divide the total number of nuts (144) by the sum of the ratio (12).

144/12=12

Now we can solve for the number of every type of nut in the bag... 

Cashews=12*2=24nuts

Peanuts=12*3=36nuts

Almonds=12*7=84nuts

Now we can answer the problem:

Peanuts-cashews=
36-24=12 nuts

Answer: There are 12 more peanuts than cashews.

4x + 3x + 5x= 156

12x= 156

x= 13

4x = 4 times 13= 52 Cashews

3x= 3 times 13= 39 Peanuts

52-32= 13
