Whats the answer to these? (These are called Proper fractions.)

Darya [45]

Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile

Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: $\frac{2*2}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}$ . From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.

Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books

Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: $\frac{4*2}{5*2} = \frac{8}{10}$ . For Edgar, that would mean: $\frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}$ . So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.

Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)

Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.

Two pounds of grapes cost 6$ what number belongs in the most right empty cell?

sdas [7]

Answer:

Table shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Table shown below

To solve this problem let's use proportions.

If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price

For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.

Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds

What are the coordinates of point B on \overline{AC} such that AB = 1/2 BC

marta [7]

Answer:

C. $B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A(x,y) = (6,-7)$ , $B(x,y) = (x,y)$ and $C(x,y) = (-3,-2)$ . From statement we know that $AB = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC$ , which is equivalent to the following linear algebraic formula:

$B(x,y) -A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [C(x,y)-B(x,y)]$ (1)

$B(x,y)-A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot B(x,y)$

$\frac{3}{2}\cdot B(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)+A(x,y)$

$B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot C(x,y) +\frac{2}{3}\cdot A(x,y)$ (2)

Then, the coordinates of point B on AC are:

$B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-3,-2)+\frac{2}{3}\cdot (6,-7)$

$B(x,y) = \left(-1, -\frac{2}{3}\right)+\left(4, -\frac{14}{3} \right)$

$B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)$

Which means that correct answer is C.

This table shows the number of marbles in a bag by color. If one marble is randomly selected from the bag, what is the

ratelena [41]

Answer:

p(blue or red) = 0.52 = 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of marbles = 7 + 10 + 14 + 19 = 50

number of blue marbles = 7

number of red marbles = 19

number of blue or red marbles = 7 + 19 = 26

p(blue or red) = 26/50

p(blue or red) = 0.52 = 52%
