w+ 1/5= 7/8

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[w = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{35}{40} - \frac{8}{40} = \frac{27}{40}\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[w+\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 7 }{ 8 }\] \[w=\frac{ 7 }{ 8 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\] \[w=\frac{ 27 }{ 40 }\]

0.375 3/8

wait for it..

ggot it, thanx

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

subtract (1/5) from both sides first. \[\large w+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{5}\]\[\large w=\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{5}\]make a common denominator\[\large w=\frac{5}{5}*\frac{7}{8}-\frac{8}{8}*\frac{1}{5}\]combine.\[\large w= \frac{35-8}{40}\]simplify\[\large w=\frac{27}{40}\]

Haha, there it is.
