$\frac{a}{7}+\frac{1}{4}=6$?

2. anonymous

yes thats it

3. anonymous

subtract $$\frac{1}{4}$$ from both sides, then multiply both sides by $$7$$

4. anonymous

in other words, first find $$6-\frac{1}{4}$$ once you have that number, multiply it by $$7$$

5. anonymous

10.5

i really doubt that what is $6-\frac{1}{4}$?

8. anonymous

1.5

9. anonymous

you have six dollars you spend one quarter you do not have a dollar fifty left

10. anonymous

if you have $6 and spend$0.25 how much is left?

11. anonymous

5.75

12. anonymous

thats better !

13. anonymous

multiply that by $$7$$ and you are done

14. anonymous

but can you how me how you got 5.75?

15. anonymous

you said it, not me

16. anonymous

its 40.25 but really can you tell me

17. anonymous

btw the final answer is not $$5.75$$ that is just $$6-\frac{1}{4}$$ the final answer is $7\times 5.75$

18. anonymous

look at the thread above i never said it was 5.75, you did i only agreed so however you did it must be correct

19. anonymous

you didnt show me the step to get that you said if you have 6\$ and spend 0.25 how much is left.

20. anonymous

the first piece of arithmetic was six minus one quarter right?

21. anonymous

it is pretty obvious that six minus one quarter is five and three quarters

22. anonymous
