The amount of flour you need is (1\(\frac{7}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{15}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{9}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{3a^9}{a^2} \)
\( \frac{3}{1} \) a^{(9 - 2)}
3a⁷

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{50 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{1250}{100} \) = 12 shots

The center makes 30% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{12}{\frac{30}{100}} \) = 12 x \( \frac{100}{30} \) = \( \frac{12 x 100}{30} \) = \( \frac{1200}{30} \) = 40 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

You have 40 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{40}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{40 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{4000}{450} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 6 and 8 have in common.
