We have to add 8/15 to 2/5.

To add two fractions we have to make them have the same denominator, so we have to convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 15. To do this, we have to multiply 2/5 by 3 and then we can add the fractions:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{6}{15} \\ \frac{14}{15} \end{gathered}$

Answer: 14/15

<h3>Answer: 5 cakes</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Let's start off converting the mixed number 12 & 1/4 to an improper fraction.

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12*4+1}{4}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{49}{4}\\\\$

Do the same for the other mixed number 2 & 1/3.

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2*3+1}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\\\\$

-----------------------

From here, we divide the two fractions. I converted them to improper fractions to make the division process easier.

$\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49}{4} \times \frac{3}{7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 7\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 3}{4}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{21}{4}\\\\$

The last step is to convert that result to a mixed number.

$\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5+1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 4+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

Note that 21/4 = 5.25 and 1/4 = 0.25 to help check the answer.

-----------------------

Therefore, she can make 5 cakes. The fractional portion 1/4 is ignored since we're only considering whole cakes rather than partial ones.

Jason is traveling by car from his home to his office. He has gone 3.5 miles so far. From this point on, he can cover 100 miles

Elden [556K]

First the equation needs to be set to "y" to find the total amount of miles traveled:
y=
Then you know he has already gone 3.5, this is a constant and can be added to the graph immediately
y=3.5
Then you know every two hours he can cover 100 miles, which means 50 miles per hour or 50 per x, so add 50x to 3.5 to show that he will go 3.5 miles plus 50 miles for every hour he is traveling.
y=3.5+50x

△XYZ was reflected over a vertical line, then dilated by a scale factor of , resulting in △X'Y'Z'. Which must be true of the two

Igoryamba

Answer:

correct option is △XYZ ~ △X'Y'Z'.

Step-by-step explanation:

since ΔXYZ is dilated by some scale factor so, the resulting triangle can not be congruent to the ΔXYZ. so option 2 is wrong.

as we have explained that the two triangles are not congruent then it's sides and angles also can't be congruent so, option 3 is also incorrect.

As we don't know by what factor the triangle XYZ is dilated so we can't say anything about correctness of option 4 and 5.

ΔXYZ was reflected over a vertical line and then dilated so the resulting ΔX'Y'Z' is similar to ΔXYZ.

i.e., △XYZ ~ △X'Y'Z'.
