<em>Ah yes, adding fractions! Adding fractions can be a bit of a pain.</em>

<em>So, we have  </em>\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{8}.

<em>To add fractions, the bottoms, or denominators, must be the same number. So we must multiply the fractions by certain numbers to make the denominators the same number. So let's go easy and make the denominator 40, because 8 goes into 40 and so does 5. So, to make 8 become 40, we'll multiply the whole fraction by 5. For 5, we'll multiply by 8.</em>

<em />5 * \frac{3}{8} = \frac{15}{40}

8 * \frac{2}{5} =  \frac{16}{40}

<em>Now we'll add the two fractions. When we add fractions we only add the tops, the numerators.</em>

<em />\frac{15}{40}+\frac{16}{40} = \frac{31}{40}

<em>Then we must reduce (or try to reduce). This fraction cannot be reduced, so the answer is simply  </em>\frac{31}{40}.

<em>I hope this helps you understand.</em>

Answer:

31/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

\dfrac{2}{5} + \dfrac{3}{8}

Note: Both fractions must have same denominators if we want to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

The only way to simplify this expression is to have a common denominator, which can be determined by the LCM of 5 and 8.

  • ⇒ Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45...
  • ⇒ Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72...

Multiply the denominators with such a number that is equivalent to 40.

Note: The number you are multiplying should also be multiplied to the numerator.

\rightarrow \dfrac{2 \times 8}{5 \times 8} + \dfrac{3 \times 5}{8 \times 5}

\rightarrow \dfrac{16}{40} + \dfrac{15}{40}

Finally, simplify the expression to determine the solution.

\rightarrow \dfrac{31}{40}

Since 31 is a prime number, we can't simplify this fraction. Thus, the final answer is 31/40.

Kamal wrote the augmented matrix below to represent a system of equations
ra1l [238]

Consider the operation is R_2\to -3R_2.

Given:

The augmented matrix below represents a system of equations.

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\1&3&-1\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-9\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

To find:

Matrix results from the operation R_2\to -3R_2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\1&3&-1\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-9\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

After applying R_2\to -3R_2, we get

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\-3(1)&-3(3)&-3(-1)\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\-3(-9)\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

\left[\left.\begin{matrix}1&0&1\\-3&-9&3\\3&2&0\end{matrix}\right|\begin{matrix}-1\\27\\-2\end{matrix}\right]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Vlada [557]
If the goal is to sell at least $1500 worth of tickets then what you can do is add the 12.50+ 6.25 which well equal 18.75. Then you can divide 1500/18.75 which eqauls to 80 meaning at least 80 seats must be sold
