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

1-1 Relations and Functions Marcus drives 32 miles to work each day. He records the number of minutes it takes him to drive and
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

A. <em>[0, 65]</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Distance that Marcus drives every day = 32 miles.

The table having average speed as input and time taken as output is shown below in the table format:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c}Speed(mph) & Time(minutes) \\ 60 & 32  \\  45 & 43  \\   55 & 35  \\ 50 & 38  \\ 62 & 31   \\\end{tabular}\end{center}

To find:

The domain that includes all possible average speeds using interval notation = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us understand what is a domain of a function.

Domain of a function is set of valid input values that can be provided to the function so that it has a valid output.

If a function is written as:

y=f(x) then values of x are the input given to the function.

In the given question statement, we are given that maximum Average speed attained by Marcus is 65 miles per hour.

That means domain has a maximum value of 65.

Let us learn something about interval notation.

( or ) means the value is not inclusive.

[ or ] means the value is inclusive.

Here 65 will be inclusive.

On the left side of comma, lower value is written and on the right side of comma, larger value is written.

So, domain for the current situation will be:

<em>[0, 65]</em>

<em></em>

0 is taken as the minimum value of domain here, because average speed value can not be negative.

This interval will contain all the possible values of input (average speed) as shown in the above table of values.

Alla [95]

Answer:

First one is 41

Second one is 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the shaded part as a trapezoid which is (3+6)*10/2 you just have to get rid of 2*2. So you get 41 as the answer.

The unshaded part will be 16*8 then subtracts the shaded part which is 41.  Then you get the answer 87.
