First, add the whole numbers

1 + 2 = 3

Second, add both fractions.

3/10 + 5/10 = 8/10

Third, simplify the fraction.

4/5

Fourth, put the number back together.

3 4/5

As you can see, 3 4/5 ≠ 5.

Best of Luck!

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try to add these two mixed numbers together. We have 1\frac{3}{10} and 2\frac{5}{10}.

First, add the nonfractional parts together:

1 + 2 = 3

Now add the fractional parts. Because 3/10 and 5/10 already have a common denominator (10), we can simply add the numerators together:

\frac{3}{10} +\frac{5}{10} =\frac{3+5}{10} =\frac{8}{10}

Add 8/10 to our whole number 3:

3 + 8/10 = 3\frac{8}{10} =3\frac{4}{5}

Clearly, 3\frac{4}{5} ≠ 5, which is why 1 3/10 + 2 5/10 ≠ 5.

Hope this helps!

93. Divide 248 by 8. One eighth of 248 = 31.

June sold 3/8 of the 248 oranges.

If 1/8 = 31 and June sold 3/8 of the oranges.

Multiply 3 × 31. Therefore June sold 93 oranges.

Which sequence represents an arithmetic sequence?
Sergio039 [100]

we know that

arithematic sequence will always have common difference

(a)

−5, −7, −10, −14, −19, …

we can see that

d_1=-7+5=-2

d_2=-10+7=-3

they are not equal

so, this is not arithematic sequence

(2)

1.5, −1.5, 1.5, −1.5, …

we can see that

d_1=-1.5-1.5=-3

d_2=1.5+1.5=3

they are not equal

so, this is not arithematic sequence

(3)

4.1, 5.1, 6.2, 7.2, …

we can see that

d_1=5.1-4.1=1

d_2=6.2+5.1=1.1

they are not equal

so, this is not arithematic sequence

(4)

−1.5, −1, −0.5, 0, …

we can see that

d_1=-1+1.5=0.5

d_2=-0.5+1=0.5

they are equal

so, this is arithematic sequence
