Hello there!
For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!
The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.
So:
1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12
2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12
Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).
When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).
So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours
Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)
Hope this helped!

Answer:
(60 - 4x)(50 + 2x) = 2,800
Step-by-step explanation:
Add like terms and put x in the middle.
-3 < -2x + x - 3x ≤ 5 - 2
-3 < - 4x ≤ 3
Sign changed when divide by negative numbers
(3/4) > x ≥ (-3/4)
Answer:
Yes triangle ABC and DEF are similar.
Step-by-step explanation:
One rule of triangles is that all the angles in a triangle will add up to 180 degrees.
Now, first, you will figure out the remaining angle in triangle ABC.
- Add up 35 and 20. (35 + 20 =55)
- Subtract 55 from 180 (180-55= 125)
- When you add 125, 35, and 20, you get 180, which should happen due to the rule of all angles in a triangle add up to 180.
Now, in triangle DEF, one angle is 125 and the other is 35. To find the other angle add 125 and 35 and subtract the sum of those two numbers from 180.
- 125 + 35 = 160
- 180-160= 20
The remaining angle is 20 degrees
As you can see, triangle ABC shares the same angles as triangle DEF.
This tells you that triangle ABC and triangle DEF are both similar due to the fact that they have the same measurements of triangles.
You can also tell they are similar because two angles in triangle ABC equal two angles in triangle DEF because of the Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity
I hope this explanation helped and have a good day!
