B 7 6/10
C 7 3/5
D 8 1/8

(D) 8 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In solving fractions in addition or subtraction form, the easiest approach is by identify their lowest common multiple LCM

2 1/2 + 5 5/8

Let's convert the fraction to an improper fraction, so we can comfortably work with the LCM. The equation becomes:

5/2 + 45/8

The LCM here is 8.

Multiplying through by 8 becomes:

= (8) 5/2 + (8) 45/8

= (20 + 45) / 8

= 65 / 8

= 8 1/8

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
