Question

Plz help with number nine plz thank u!

Answer 1

Answer:

$7\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is find the difference between $3\frac{3}{4}$ and $5\frac{1}{8}$. This will give us the first equation that was used in this problem.

$5 \frac{1}{8} -3\frac{3}{4} =1\frac{3}{8}$

$6\frac{1}{2} -5\frac{1}{8} =1\frac{3}{8}$

If needed, you should change the fractions so all of the fractions have the same denominator.

$3\frac{3}{4} =3\frac{6}{8}$

$6\frac{1}{2} =6\frac{4}{8}$

Re-did Equation:

$5\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{6}{8}$

$6\frac{4}{8} -5\frac{1}{8}$

If you want to make it even easier, you should make them improper fractions, them convert them back to mixed numbers at the end.

Improper:

$3\frac{6}{8} =\frac{30}{8}$

$5\frac{1}{8} =\frac{41}{8}$

$6\frac{4}{8} =\frac{52}{8}$

Revised:

$\frac{41}{8} - \frac{30}{8} =\frac{11}{8}$

$\frac{52}{8} -\frac{41}{8} =\frac{11}{8}$

$\frac{11}{8} =1\frac{3}{8}$

If we want to find how big the puppy will be in another week, we will add $\frac{11}{8}$ to $\frac{52}{8}$ to get the weight. We can then make this into a mixed number.

Answer Equation:

$\frac{52}{8} +\frac{11}{8} =\frac{63}{8}$

Mixed number: $7\frac{7}{8}$

I hoped this helped. :)
