The length of a rectangle is 8 1/3 centimeters. Its width is 2 3/4 centimeters shorter than its length. What is the width of the rectangle

Sagot :

Answer:

4 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

8 1/3 - 2 3/4

Subtract the whole numbers

8 - 2 = 4

If the denominators are not the same, get there LCM (Least Common Denominator)

3: 3, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24, 27

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36

3 and 4 LCM: 12

Now that we got the LCM, multiply the numerators and denominators

(1 x 4) = 4          (3 x 3) = 9

(3 x 4) = 12        (4 x 3) = 12

Subtract 4 by 9 and keep the denominator

(4/12 - 9/12)

9 - 4 = 5

4 5/12 is the width of the rectangle
