Question

1. 4/5 x - 3 3/4 x = 2 1/2

2. Q - 7 5/6 = 6 1/2


3. Find the product. Simplify if possible

-1/3 (8 1/7)

Answer 1

1. 4/5 x - 3 3/4 x = 2 1/2
-2 19/20 x = 2 1/2
x = (2 1/2) / (-2 19/20) = 5/2 / (-59/20) = 5/2 * (-20/59) = -50/59

2. Q - 7 5/6 = 6 1/2
Q = 6 1/2 + 7 5/6 = 14 1/3

3. -1/3 (8 1/7) = -1/3(57/7) = -19/7 = -2 5/7
