Matt is making cookies. He adds fraction 3 over 4 of a cup of sugar to a bowl. He then removes two fraction 1 over 8 cups of sugar. Which of the following best explains the amount of sugar left in the bowl? fraction 3 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 2 over 8
fraction 3 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 3 over 8
fraction 4 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 2 times 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 3 over 8
fraction 4 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 2 over 8.

3/4 is equal to 6/8  

2 1/8s is equal to 2/8

Subtract:

6/8-2/8=4/8 simplify (both have a GCF of 4) (4/8)/4=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
