Feel free to change it up a little.
Sam and his friend went out for pancakes. They ordered a huge stack of pancakes but the waitress didn't give them enough maple syrup. Sam got 1/5 of a cup of syrup and his friend got 1/2 of a cup. If they wanted a lot of syrup, they would have to combine their cup of syrup.
How much syrup would they have if they combined their cups of syrup?

Now solve.
First, find the common denominator
10 is the common denominator
1/5=2/10 1/2=5/10
2/10+5/10=7/10

Sam and his friend has 7/10 cups of syrup, now they have enough and are satisfied

17. x^2 + 2x + 1
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

E. This polynomial could be factored by using grouping or the perfect squares methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1

There is no greatest common factor

This is a perfect square

a^2 + 2ab+ b^2 = ( x+1)^2

We can factor this  by grouping

x^2 + 2x + 1

(x^2 +x) + (x+1)

x( x+1)  + x+1

Factor out x+1

( x+1)  ( x+1)

This is not the difference of squares since there is no subtraction

As voters exit the polls, you ask a representative random sample of voters if they voted for a proposition. If the true percenta
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The probability is 0.057797

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that true percentage of voters who vote for the proposition is 63%,

Let p is probability of success.

According to the binomial distribution:

P(x;p,n)=^nC_x(p)^x(1-p)^{(n-x)}

Substitute n=7, p=0.63 and x=2 in the above formula.

P(x;p,n)=^7C_2(0.63)^2(1-0.63)^{(7-2)}

P(x;p,n)=\frac{7!}{2!5!}(0.3969)(0.37)^{5}\\P(x;p,n)=21(0.3969)(0.37)^{5}\\P(x;p,n)=0.0577974947199\\P(x;p,n)\approx0.057797

Hence, the probability is 0.057797

IgorLugansk [536]
<span>let n+2=u so, the equation became= [2/u]-[3/u]=5 => [(2+3)/u]=5 => 5/u=5 => u=5/5=1 thus, u=1 we know u=n+2 so, n+2=1 => n=1-2=-1 so, n=-1</span>

<h3>Given :-</h3>
  • Pranav ran 20.3 km more than Branda

  • Pravin ran 38.6 km

\\  \\

To find :

  • No. of kilometers did Brenda run.

\\  \\

<h3>Let :</h3>

  • No. of kilometers ran by Brenda be x.

\\  \\

<h3>Solution:</h3>

\\  \\

Equation formed:-

\\  \\

Total distance covered by Pravan = More distance covered by Pravan + distance covered by Brenda.

Therefore:-

\\  \\

\leadsto \sf38.6 = 20.3 + x

Write the equation

\\  \\

\leadsto \sf38.6 - 20.3 =x

When we transfer 20.3 to left side the positive sign (+) will change into negative sign (–)

\\  \\

\leadsto \sf x = 38.6 - 20.3

Arrange the equation because x is always represented at left side.

\\  \\

\leadsto \boxed {\pmb{\sf x = 18.3}}\star

After subtracting 38.6 with 20.3 we will get result as 18.3 .

\\  \\

\therefore \red{ \underline{  \pmb{\frak{Distance  ~ covered ~by ~Brenda~ is ~equal ~to~18.3~kilometers}}}}

Lamar used 7/8 of a cup of raisins to make snacks mix. he used 3/4 of a cup of raisins to make cookies what expression could be
Alinara [238K]
The answer is B.

In order to add the two values together, you must find the least common multiple for the denominators. The denominators are 8 and 4, and the least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. Because you have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, you must also multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. This will give you 6/8.
