Question

What is a+b/q when q equals 7 and b equals 17 and a equals 15

Answer 1

Is there any parenthesis in this problem ?

Answer 2

is this
\[ \frac{a+b}{q}\]
or
\[ a + \frac{b}{q} \]

Answer 3

first one

Answer 4

can you replace the letters with the numbers they give you ?

Answer 5

this is just a matter of substitution and solving....not really that hard

Answer 6

yes
17+15/7 and there is remainder

Answer 7

oh it 4r4

Answer 8

leave it a fraction

Answer 9

ok, but you should put parens around the first two numbers
(17+15)/7
because you are really doing
\[ \frac{17+15}{7}\]

Answer 10

oh

Answer 11

you can write the answer a few ways. If this is multiple choice, then write it to match one of the choices. otherwise you can keep it an improper fraction or write it as a mixed number
4 4/7
(that is 4 and 4/7)

Answer 12

or 32/7

Answer 13

this is how the equation is show

Answer 14

but your resulting answer can be written in more then 1 way...it can be left as an improper fraction of 32/7....or it can be changed to a mixed number 4 4/7

Answer 15

yes, and that means (a+b)/q
which can also be written as
\[ \frac{a}{q}+\frac{b}{q}\]
that might be confusing, but it is the same as adding
two fractions with the same denominator

either way you will get 4 and 4/7

Answer 16

ok thanks
