There were 24 1/4 crates of tomatoes in the barn but 7 3/5 crates of tomatoes were rotten and had to be thrown out. Joe sold 8 1/3 crates and canned 7 5/6 crates of tomatoes. How many crates of tomatoes were left?

29/60 of the crates are left behind.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of crates = 24 1/4= 97/4

Rotten tomatoes crates = 7 3/5= 38/5

Joe sold crates = 8 1/3= 25/8

Canned  crates of tomatoes =7 5/6= 47/6

Therefore

24 1/4 - 7 3/5 - 8 1/3 - 7 5/6

= 97/4-38/5-25/3-47/6

= (97*5-38*4)/20  - (25*2+47)/6

= 485-152/20 - 97/6

= 333/20-97/6

= 333*3-97*10/60

=999-970/60

=29/60

29/60 of the crates are left behind.

This question is solved in 2 steps.

First the LCM of fraction 1 and 2 is taken separately from the LCM of fraction 3 and 4 for simplification purposes.

Then again the LCM is taken for the answers obtained from fraction 1&2 and fraction 3& 4.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,

mrb

the answer is 9.8975

explanation:

when you multiply the "39.59" with the 25% it reduces it and shows its final discounted price. hope this !
