1). Set the expression to 8 1/2- 5 2/3

2).Change it to 17/2-17/3

3).Find the common denominator

4). common denominator is 6 so..... you have 51/6-34/6

5). Simplify

Answer:

1. .018 or 18 thousandths

2. $8,370

3. The Exact form is 17/6 but the Mixed number is 2 5/6

4. Gemma is 31/8 miles or 3 7/8 miles from the end of the trail.

Explanation:

1. The quotient is the answer to a division problem. You divide the dividend (which is on the top) by the divisor (which is on the bottom)

2. You need to know the total value of pins for one hour

So with that, you multiply the amount of pins produced per hour and the total value of pins within a certain hour frame which is one hour

1,000×1=1,000

Then you multiply for the value of each pin

1,000×$8.37=$8,370

3. 8 1/2 - 5 2/3 =

= 17/2 − 17/3

= ((17 × 3) − (17 × 2)) / (2 × 3)

= (51 - 34) / 6

= 17/6

= 2 5/6

4. In the question it is given that the length of the blue lake trail is 11 3/8 miles. In the question it is also given that Gemma has hiked for a total time of 3 hours and each hour she has hiked 2 1/2 miles.

Now coming to solving the problem we get:

Total length of blue lake trail = 11 3/8 miles

= 91/8 miles

Distance hiked by Gemma in 1 hour = 2 1/2 miles

= 5/2 miles

Then the total distance hiked by Gemma in 3 hours = (5/2) * 3

= 15/2 miles

The distance left to cover the full trail = (91/8) - (15/2) miles

= (91 - 60)/8 miles

= 31/8 miles

= 3 7/8 miles.

So Gemma is 31/8 miles or 3 7/8 miles from the end of the trail

Hope this helps! Good luck on the test!
