OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 6.67%

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what is 6/40 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.15?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so what is .15 converted to percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15%.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you =) Can you help me with this other problem please?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ivettef365 3/10+ 7/8= Put that in simplest form, would that be 10/18 and divide each by 2 and get 5/9?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you have 3 7 ----- + ------ = 10 8

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you can not add fractions like that, first find a common multiple between 10 and 8 ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, it 40

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

40 is correct

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 3 7 3(4) + 7(5) --- + ---- = ------------ 10 8 40

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

do you understand what I just did ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and it helped A LOT

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

can you take it from there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes =)
