Answer:
15/8 - 6/8= 9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to that question is the sum of the hours he studied for on both days, which will be 1/4 + 3/8.
However, we cannot add fractions with different denominators. In this case, it's 4 and 8.
So if we want to add them, we must make the denominators similar to each other. How to make 4 into 8? We multiply it by 2: 4 x 2 = 8.
BUT when we multiply fractions, we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number to keep its original value. In this case, if you want to multiply 4 by 2, you must also multiply 1 by 2.
=> SO to make 1/4 into y/8, we will multiply it like this (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8
Now we can add the 2 fractions together. 2/8 + 3/8 = (2 + 3)/8 = 5/8. THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.
TL;DR: He studied 5/8 (or 0.625) hour altogether on both days.
Start by multiplying 3 times 3x to get 9x. Then multiply 3 times -6 to get -18
After that your equation is 18=9x-18
Then your going to add 18 to each side so your equation should be 36=9x
Then devide each side by 9 so the answer will be x=4
The perimeter of the triangle, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 8.5 units.
This equation basically says that a number plus 3/5 equals 2 so we can simply:
2 - 3/5 = x
Therefore x equals 1 & 2/5 or 1.4
