Answer:

6 $50 bills and 9 $5 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let x = the number of $5 bills, and y = the number of $50 bills. With this, we can set up two equations:

5x + 50y = 345

x + y = 15

Because there is $345 total in the register, that means that 5 times the number of $5 bills plus 50 times the number of $50 bills would equal 345. And there are 15 bills total, so the numbers added is 15. Now, we can solve these equations through substitution:

x + y = 15

x = 15 - y

Now, plug in (15 - y) for x into the other equation, and solve for y:

5(15 - y) + 50y = 345

75 - 5 y + 50y = 345

75 + 45y = 345

45y = 270

y = 6

Since y is 6, that means we have 6 $50 bills. And there are 15 bills total, so there are 9 $5 bills. (15 - 6 = 9)

1) $\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{19}{24}$

2) $\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{29}{24}$

3) $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{24}$

4) $\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{25}{24}$

5) $\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{24}$

6) $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{25}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the sum of two fractions, we first have to find the lowest common denominator of the two fractions, then multiply the numerator of each fraction by the ratio between the lowest common denominator and the original denominator, and then add/subtract the two new numerators.

1)

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=$

Here the lowest common denominator between 6 and 8 is 24,

So we have to rewrite each fraction as having denominator 24: this means that we have to multiply both numerator and denominator of the 1st fraction by 4 (because 24/6=4), and both numerator and denominator of the 2nd fraction by 3 (because 24/8=3).

So the new numerators of the two fractions are:

$4\cdot 4 = 16\\1\cdot 3 = 3$

The expression then becomes:

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{3}{24}=\frac{16+3}{24}=\frac{19}{24}$

2)

$\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=$

Here the lowest common denominator between 6 and 8 is again 24,

so we have again to multiply both numerator and denominator of the 1st fraction by 4, and both numerator and denominator of the 2nd fraction by 3.

So the new numerators of the two fractions are:

$2\cdot 4 = 8\\7\cdot 3 = 21$

And we get:

$\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{8+21}{24}=\frac{29}{24}$

3)

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}$

The denominators are the same, so the lowest common denominator is always 24. So we can adopt the same procedure, and new numerators are:

$5\cdot 4 = 20\\3\cdot 3 = 9$

And so:

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}=\frac{20-9}{24}=\frac{11}{24}$

4)

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=$

Using the same lowest common denominator, 24, the new numerators are:

$4\cdot 4 = 16\\3\cdot 3 = 9$

And so we can rewrite the expression as

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{9}{24}=\frac{16+9}{24}=\frac{25}{24}$

5)

$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=$

Again, the lowest common denominator is 24. This time the denominator of the 1st fraction is 8 while the denominator of the 2nd fraction is 6, so we have to multiply the numerator of the 1st fraction by 3 and the numerator of the 2nd fraction by 4.

We get:

$7\cdot 3 = 21\\5\cdot 4 = 20$

So the expression will be rewritten as:

$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{21}{24}-\frac{20}{24}=\frac{21-20}{24}=\frac{1}{24}$

6)

$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=$

Here the situation is similar to the first 4 exercises: using 24 as lowest common denominator, the numerators become

$1\cdot 4 = 4\\7\cdot 3 = 21$

So the expression becomes

$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{4}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{4+21}{24}=\frac{25}{24}$

Find the distance between the points given.<br><br> (2, 2) and (5, 5)

mario62 [17]

Distance between two points, d, is given by
$d= \sqrt{ ( x_{2} - x_{1}) ^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1}) ^{2} }
$
where: (x1, y1) = (2, 2) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5)
$d= 
\sqrt{ ( 5 - 2) ^{2} + (5 - 2) ^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{ (3)^{2} + 3^{2} } 
\\ d= \sqrt{9+9} \\ d= \sqrt{18} \\ d=3\sqrt{2} \ units$

Answer:

finding the number of equal-sized parts into which a number can be split

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us split the number 80 into 10 equal parts.

80 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8

= 8 + 8 + 8 +...to 10 times

= 8(10)

or $\frac{80}{10} =8$

So, if N is any number and p is one of its equal part, then the number of parts into which N is split by p is $\frac{N}{p}$ .

Hence, finding the number of equal-sized parts is best modeled with a division expression.
