Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: So before the breakfast, we have 3/4 of the gallon jug of milk, and after we have 1/12 and want to know the difference between this quantities.

whe can write 3/4 as 9/12, and this way the subtraction is easy:

9/12 - 1/12 = 8/12= 2/3.

So in the breakfast you drinked 2/3 of the gallon

Answer 2
Answer: they drunk 2/3 because 3/4=9/12-8/12=1/12 and 8/12 is equal to 2/3 so 2/3 is your answer.

A problem states that Ursula earns $9 per hour. To write an expression that tells how much money Ursula earns h hours, Joshua wrote (fraction) 9/h. Sarah wrote 9h. Whose expression is correct and why?

Answers

$9 per hour 
the answer is 9h because if you tried to find out how much she earns after 10 hours you would do 9*10=90 not the other one
Sarah, because it tells how much money she earns each hour.

Who do you do the problem 7/9+1/7+3/5? please explain thoroughly.

Answers

to add fractions you want to make sure that the bottom numbers are the same so we have to make them the same, but we have to make sure that the fractions are unchanged so we get the correct answer

so if we find out what number that 9,7, and 5 can all multiply into. we find that 9 times 7 times 5 or 315 is the number that will work

so to get them to all be over 315, we must multiply each fraction by a form of 1/1 or x/x or (number)/(same numbe as on top)

so 7/9 times (35/35)=245/315
1/7 times (45/45)=45/315
3/5 times (56/56)=168/315

we add them togther
245/315+45/315+168/315=(245+45+168)/315=458/315
this simplifies to 1 and 143/315

To add those fractions, you must find a common denominator for all of them. To find this, find a number that is a multiple of all three denominators.  Then, multiply the top of the fraction by the same number you multiplied to get the common denominator.  Finally you add all of the numerators together and keep the denomiator the same.

Example: 1/2+1/4+1/8

The demominators all are factors of the multiple 8.  Therefore, we will use 8.  Then, since we multiplied 2 by 4 to get eight for the first fraction, we will multiply the top number by 4 also. The new fraction will look like this: 4/8.  After you have done that to all of the fractions, the equation will look like this: 4/8+2/8+1/8.  Finally add all of the top numbers together and keep the denominator the same.  The answer would be 7/8

Hope this helped :)  Good luck
