    MHB Can't figure out how to begin with solving this one.

    MarkFL and Devono, I really am so thankful for your patience in helping me out with my basic math problems. Based on how I responded to all of your suggestions, what do you think are the topics that I need to review to be able to solve this type of math problem? I really want to learn more in...

    MHB Can't figure out how to begin with solving this one.

    Somehow I got the point but I think I need to review factoring for that. Is this correct? 1-1/20 - - - Updated - - - So those are the sides we're talking about. Thanks for always making things easier for me to digest. (Headbang)

    MHB Can't figure out how to begin with solving this one.

    To be honest, I can't follow your instructions anymore. Sorry to bother you guys but I think I already forgot the basics. (Angry) Here's my idea (and please tell me if I'm getting anywhere with this). I will start by subtracting 1/4 - 1/5 - 50/1.

    Dominic spent 1/4 of his money on a pair of socks, 1/5 of it on a magazine and 50 on a snack. If he had 82 left, how much money did he start with?

    MHB Just need to verify if this one needs to be subtracted or no.

    3/8 - 1/8 = ...? =2/8 =1/4 Very clear and simple to understand. Thank you!:)

    MHB Just need to verify if this one needs to be subtracted or no.

    My solution so far: 3/8 = 9/24 and 1/3 = 8/24 9/24 - 8/24 = 1/24 But my book says a totally different thing which confuses me: 3/8 x 1/3 = 1/8.3/8 - 1/8 = 2/8 =1/4 Please help!

    MHB How Many Posts Are Required for a Rectangular Fence with 8-Meter Gaps?

    Hmmmm... 1 additional post on each of the shorter sides and 3 additional post on each of the longer sides? So it will be a total of 12 posts including the 4 corner posts. Is that correct?

    MHB How Many Posts Are Required for a Rectangular Fence with 8-Meter Gaps?

    A fence is to be on posts 8 meters apart around a rectangular lot that measures 40 meters long and 16 meters wide. How many posts are needed, including the ones placed at each corner, to fence the entire lot?

    MHB How do I find the fraction of the job done?

    Re: Need EXPLANATION on how to solve this one. Thanks! Is it 2/3? I tried to draw a figure to be able to visualize it (and it takes much time). I don't know other ways to solve it. :confused:
