Express the simplest form 5 over 8 - 1 over 6

We require the denominators to be common

multiply numerator/denominator of 5/8 by 3 and 1/6 by 4, so that both fractions have a denominator of 24

= -

subtract the numerators leaving the denominator

= = in simplest form

right

step-by-step explanation:

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
