<span>So let’s simplify the given situation.
We need to find out how much heavier is 91/8 lbs. compare to 2 5/6 lbs.
Since, it’s a combination of whole number and fraction; we cannot directly subtract this given equation. We need to convert the two given number into a fraction.
9 1/8 = 8 x 9 = 72 + 1 = 73, 73 is our numerator and 8 is our denominator
=> 73/8
2 5/6 = 6 x 2 = 12 + 5 = 17, 17 is our numerator and 6 is our denominator
=> 17/6

Now, we have 2 fractions with unlike denominator. In order to get a common denominator, we have to find their least common factor.

=> <u>73</u> - <u>17  </u> = <u>73 x 6 </u> - <u>17 x 8 </u> <u>
</u>       8      6        8 x 6       6 x 8</span><span>
=> <u>438</u> – <u>136 </u> Now, we have the same denominator, subtract</span><span>
      48       48
=> <u>302 </u> or  <u>151</u>
       48          24
=> 6 <u>7</u>
       24
Therefore 9 1/8 lbs. is 6 7/24 lbs. heavier than 2 5/6 lbs.</span>

If 36 is is the dividend and 4 is the divisor then what is the quotient
max2010maxim [7]
Given:
36 is the dividend
4 is the divisor
Since, 4 is the divisor, you are going to want to see how many times 4 can fit into 36 evenly:
4*1=4, 4*2=8, 4*3=12, 4*4=16, 4*5=20, 4*6=24, 4*7=28, 4*9= 36
As you can see above, 4 goes into 36, 9 times evenly:
36/4 = 9
Quotient: 9

I hope this helps!

5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will
iragen [17]

Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

astra-53 [7]

Question:

To a survey of 290 newspaper readers, 181 of them read the Daily Times, 142 Read the Guardian 117 read punch and each reads at least one of the three papers if 75 read the Daily Times, and the Guardian, 60 read the Daily Times and punch, and 54 read the Guardian and punch : Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate this information How many readers read All three papers ,Exactly two of the papers The Guardian alone?

Answer:

39 read all three news papers,72 Exactly two Papers & 52 reads  Guardian Alone

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given, A survey of 290 newspaper readers.

Who read the Daily times A=181  

Who read the Guardian times B=142  

Who read the punch C=117

Who read Daily Times and the Guardian A\cap B= 75

Who read Daily Times and the punch A\cap C=60

Who read Guardian and punch B\cap C=54

To find :

How many readers read All three papers, Exactly two of the papers The Guardian alone?

Solution :

Readers read all three papers is A\cap B\cap C

Total survey is given by,

Total = A+B + C- A\cap B- A\cap C - B\cap C+ A\cap B\cap C

290 = 181 + 142 + 117 - 75 -60 - 54 +A\cap B\cap C

290 =251+A\cap B\cap C

290-251=A\cap B\cap C

A\cap B\cap C=39

So, number of readers who read all three papers is 39.

Exactly two of the papers = 36 + 21 + 15 = 72

Guardian Alone = 52
