Question

The sum of one sixth of n and one fifth of g minus 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

don't know.....sorry

Answer 2

$= \frac{5n + 6g - 240}{30}$

GIVEN:- The sum of one-sixth of n and one-fifth of g minus 8

TO FIND:- Translation of the given algebraic phrase

SOLUTION:-

• Here we need to translate the algebraic phrase into an algebraic expression.
• In mathematics,

1. sum implies addition,
2. of implying multiplication and
3. one-sixth and one-fifth imply fraction.
4. Minus implying subtraction

According to the question,

The sum of one-sixth of n and one-fifth of g minus 8

$\frac{1}{6} \times n + \frac{1}{5} \times g - 8 \\ = \frac{n}{6} + \frac{g}{5} - 8$

$= \frac{n \times 5}{6 \times 5} + \frac{g \times 6}{5 \times 6} - \frac{8 \times 30}{1 \times 30} \\ = \frac{5n}{30} + \frac{6g}{30} - \frac{240}{30} \\ = \frac{5n + 6g - 240}{30}$

Hence,

$= \frac{5n + 6g - 240}{30}$
