How do you solve this problem? 1.6-3/8=

First you would convert the decimal into a fraction

1.6= 8/5

8/5-3/8

Then subtract the fractions

49/40

Then you are left with your

49/40

Hope this helps! :3

48/8 or in decimal form; 5.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. First convert the equation into a fraction.

6=6*8/8

=6*8/8-3/8

Step 2. Since the denominators equal to the same amount, combine all the fractions.

=6*8-3/8

Step 3. And lastly;

6*8-3=45

Therefore, we get the answer of 45/8.

Hope I could help! :)

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

make sure you have version 2.50

try looking in the very back of the book : )
