Answer: yes when your adding or subtracting fractions you must find the common denominator between the two before you continue.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example: 2/4+3/2
Find the common denominator. ( in this case the common denominator is 4)
We keep the first fraction as it is cause it has the denominator 4 and we multiply the second fraction by 2 up and down to get a denominator of 4. The equation becomes 2/4+6/4
Now you add the numerators and you got your answer ( don’t forget to simplify)
The answer after adding in this case is 8/4 and when simplified it is 2
you divide 3/5 by 6 so it will be 3/5*6= 3/30=1/10
1/10 is your answer
Answer:
6.5 and 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hr 18 minutes and 27 seconds hmmm
there are 60 minutes in 1 hr, thus 18 minutes is 18/60 hrs or 0.3hr.
so 1hr 18min is 1.3 hrs
there are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 hr, thus 60*60 seconds in 1hr, or 3600 seconds, so, 27 seconds is just 27/3600 hrs, or 0.0075 hrs.
so, 1.3 hr or 1.3000 hr for that matter plus 0.0075, is just
1.3075 hrs.
a)
so, they covered 26.2 miles in 1.3075 hrs, so the average speed is just 26.2/1.3075, or about 20.0382409177 miles/hr
b)
