Solve eight and four eighths minus five and five sixths. (Giving extra points on this one)

A) two and twelve forty eighths

B) two and thirty forty eighths

C) three and one fourteenth

D) three and twelve fourteenths

(Here is an image if needed) :

B: 2 32/48

Step-by-step explanation:

8 4/8 - 5 5/6

Turn to fractions:

8 4/8 = 68/8

5 5/6 = 35/6

Common denominator: 24

68 x 3 = 204

8 x 3 = 24

35 x 4 = 140

6 x 4 = 24

Set-up:

204/24 - 140/24

Solve:

64/ 24

Simplifying to Mixed Number:

64/24 = 8/3 = 2 2/3 = 2 32/48

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
