Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this format for the problem:

Total pounds of candy you received = Pounds of candy received from Grandmother + Pounds of candy received from Sister + Pounds of Candy received from Best Friend

  • <em>Add them all up to find the total you received.</em>
  • <em>Total pounds of candy you received = 1/4 + 1/2 + 1/8</em>

<em />

1. Simplify the expression

<em />\frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{8}

Find the lowest common denominator:

\frac{\left(1\cdot 2\right)}{\left(4\cdot 2\right)}+\frac{\left(1\cdot 4\right)}{\left(2\cdot 4\right)}+\frac{1}{8}

Multiply the denominators:

\frac{\left(1\cdot 2\right)}{8}+\frac{\left(1\cdot 4\right)}{8}+\frac{1}{8}

Multiply the numerators:

\frac{2}{8}+\frac{4}{8}+\frac{1}{8}

Combine the fractions:

\frac{\left(2+4+1\right)}{8}

Combine the numerators:

\frac{7}{8}

Hence, the answer is 7/8.

Why learn this

- Let's say you invite ten friends over for movie night and order four pizzas to split. How do you divide the pizza evenly so everyone gets the same amount of pizza? If each section of the couch can fit 1+1/5 people, how many sections would there need to be to accommodate all of your friends? The whole world is made up of little bits and pieces that are part of something larger, and the key to understanding them is fractions.

Fractions are the mathematical representation of any whole thing that is made up of multiple parts. Knowing how to manipulate them using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is one of the most widely applicable math skills in everyday situations and provides an important foundation for other math concepts you will encounter.

Answer: 7/8 pound

Step-by-Step Explanation:

From Grandmother = 1/4 pound
From Sister = 1/2 pound
From Best Friend = 1/8 pound

Therefore,
= 1/4 + 1/2 + 1/8
= 2/8 + 4/8 + 1/8
= 6/8 + 1/8
=> 7/8

Total Pounds of Candy = 7/8 pound

What is the derivative of 3x+5x
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[3x + 5x] = 8

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Differentiation

  • Derivatives
  • Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]:                                                           \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)

Basic Power Rule:

  1. f(x) = cxⁿ
  2. f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

\displaystyle y = 3x + 5x

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

  1. Simplify:                                                                                                         \displaystyle y = 8x
  2. Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]:                                                   \displaystyle y' = 8\frac{d}{dx}[x]
  3. Basic Power Rule:                                                                                         \displaystyle y' = 8

Which of the following is not equivalent
dsp73
90/139 is the only fraction not equivalent to 45/70.

To find if a fractions are equivalent, divide the numerator by the denominator for each fraction.

45/70=0.642857
27/42=0.642857
9/14=0.642857
63/98=0.642857

Notice how all of these get you the same number. However, when you divide 90 by 137, you get 0.64748, which is not the same as the others. Therefore, 90/137 is the fraction that is not equivalent to 45/70.
