Two carpenters are building a fence. after 5 minutes, one carpenter is finished 4/7 of the way and the other is finished 1/8 of the way. how much of the way ahead of the second carpenter is the first carpenter? 3 pointstwo carpenters are building a fence. after 5 minutes, one carpenter is finished 4/7 of the way and the other is finished 1/8 of the way. how much of the way ahead of the second carpenter is the first carpenter?

The first carpenter has done 25/56 more of the fence than the second carpenter.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the fractions to an equal base:

4/7 * 8/8 = 32/56

1/8 * 7/7 = 7/56

The first carpenter did 32/56 of the work so far, and the second one has done 7/56.

To find the difference, subtract the number of the second carpenter from the first.

32/56 - 7/56 = 25/56

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.
