Solve 10/12−3/8 . Show your solution as an equation.
Let's find a common denominator for 12 and 8. The least common multiple of 12 and 8 is 24.
Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as:
10/12 - 3/8 = (10*2)/(12*2) - (3*3)/(8*3) = 20/24 - 9/24
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
20/24 - 9/24 = (20-9)/24 = 11/24
The solution to the equation is 11/24.
make it sound like a 10 year old made it
Uhh, like, you know, let's find a common thingy for 12 and 8. Hmm, oh yeah, the smallest number both can go into is 24! So, let's change the numbers to make 'em have the same bottom part, like this:
10/12 - 3/8 = (10 times 2)/(12 times 2) - (3 times 3)/(8 times 3) = 20/24 - 9/24
And now, we can subtract the fraction-y parts:
20/24 - 9/24 = (20 minus 9)/24 = 11/24
So, ta-da, the answer is 11/24!
make it sound les dumb
Let's find a common denominator for 12 and 8. We can observe that 12 can be multiplied by 2 to get 24, and 8 can be multiplied by 3 to get 24.
So, we rewrite the expression as:
10/12 - 3/8 = (10*2)/(12*2) - (3*3)/(8*3) = 20/24 - 9/24
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
20/24 - 9/24 = (20-9)/24 = 11/24
Therefore, the solution to the equation is 11/24.
only a smige of dum
Uh, let's find a common bottom thingy for 12 and 8. Like, we can see that 12 can times ouchie by 2 to get 24, and 8 can get multiplied by 3 to get 24 too.
So, we change the numbers to make 'em have the same bottom part, like this:
10/12 - 3/8 = (10 times 2)/(12 times 2) - (3 times 3)/(8 times 3) = 20/24 - 9/24
Now, we just subtract the fractions:
20/24 - 9/24 = (20 minus 9)/24 = 11/24
So, ta-da, the answer is 11/24! A little bit dum but still right!
Estimate 10/12−3/8 using benchmark values. Your equation must show the estimate for each fraction and the final estimate for the expression.
make it sound like a 11 year old made it
Okay, let's, like, estimate 10/12 - 3/8 using some benchmark values. Benchmarks are, like, easy numbers that make it simpler to estimate.
For 10/12, we can round 12 to 10 (because it's, like, close). So, our estimate will be 10/10.
For 3/8, we can round 8 to 10 (because it's close too). So, our estimate will be 3/10.
Now we can subtract the fractions with our estimates:
10/10 - 3/10 = 7/10.
So, the estimate for the expression 10/12 - 3/8 is 7/10.
Calculate the difference between your estimate in Part A and the actual value you calculated in Part B. Be sure to show this solution as an equation. Based on this difference, do you think your estimate for Part A was reasonable? Explain. and bye part a and part b i mean the questions i asked you just now
To calculate the difference between the estimate in Part A (7/10) and the actual value in Part B (11/24), we subtract the estimate from the actual value:
Actual value - Estimate = 11/24 - 7/10
To subtract the fractions, we first need to find a common denominator, which is 120 in this case:
11/24 - 7/10 = (11*5)/(24*5) - (7*12)/(10*12) = 55/120 - 84/120
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
55/120 - 84/120 = (55-84)/120 = -29/120
The difference between the estimate and the actual value is -29/120.
Based on this difference, we can see that our estimate in Part A was not very accurate. The actual value is negative and much smaller in magnitude compared to the estimate. Therefore, our estimate was not reasonable or close to the actual value.
