Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The contiguous U.S. consist of all states beside Alaska and Hawaii; therefore, there are 48 contiguous U.S. states. However, the ratio given to us only consists of 16 states [7 + 9 = 16]. If we need to expand the ratio, we multiply 16 by 3 to get 48. Thus, we also multiply each of the terms by 3, and the ratio becomes 21:27. Therefore, the number of contiguous U.S. states that border an ocean is 21.
To find the total of 3/4 and 4/5 is to add them together. However, in order to add them together you need to find the least common denominator (LCD). And the LCD of both denominators would be 20, because that is the smallest number both 4 and 5 can divide into. And here is the tricky part, now you have to change the numerators. So since 3/4th's now has a denominator of 20 you have to make the 3 match the 20. So 4 times what it 20? It is 5. So now multiply 5 by three and that will give you 15/20, which can reduce to 3/4 which means that you did this correctly! Now repeat the same steps with 4/5:
4/5=4/20
20÷5=4
4•4=16
16/20 (16/20 can reduce to 4/5 which means you did this correctly.
Now to add them keep the denominators the same and only add the numerators:
15/20 + 16/20 = 31/20
Now this as a mixed number would be 1 11/20. I hope this was helpful!
3/4=0.75
