Pls help Eliana needs 6 and 7/8 yards of wire.
She has 4 and 1/3 yards. How much more
wire does she need?

2 and 13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, figure out what you need: the difference between 6 7/8 and 4 1/3 in this case

Next, set up your equation:

6 7/8 – 4 1/3

To make the subtraction of fractions easier, turn both into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number (e.g. 6) with the denominator (e.g. 8) and then adding the numerator (e.g. 7):

6 7/8 = 55/8

4 1/3 = 13/3

To subtract these, they need to have the same denominator. By finding the lowest common multiple for 3 and 8 (the denominators) we can produce equivalent fractions with the same denominator.

LCM of 3 and 8 = 24

(55/8)*(3/3) = 165/24

(13/3)*(8/8) = 104/24

Rewrite the equation with the equivalent fractions: 165/24 – 104/24

Now subtract the numerators: 165 – 104 = 61, so the answer is 61/24

This can't be reduced further, so we turn it back into a proper fraction (by dividing the numerator by the denominator): 2 13/24

Therefore, Eliana needs 2 and 13/24 more yards of wire

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
