How do you solve equations like this: 7 5/6? can someone explain it? (7 5/6 is just an example)
Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
a b/c is a mixed number, we can turn a mixed number into its simplest form in this way: a b/c= a + b/c=(a*c+b)/c
In this case: 7 5/6=7+ 5/6=(7*6+5)/6=(42+5)/6=47/6
Therefore: 7 5/6 =47/6
Answer 2
Answer:
Convert 7 5/6 to decimal form...
The fractional part of this number is what needs the focus. The whole number is 7, so we know that the decimal will lie somewhere between 7 and 8 (it will be 7 point something). All we have to do is convert 5/6 To decimal and attach it to the 7...
To find the decimal just do the math described by the fraction. 5/6 literally reads 5 ÷ 6. Set up the division and the result is .8333
So the decimal form of 7 5/6 is 7.8333
Alternatively you can set it up as a ratio then solve for x.
Point P has coordinates (1,4). After a translation 2 units up, a reflection across the x-axis, and a translation 5 units down, what are the coordinates of the image?
