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!

Darina [25.2K]
The first thing we are going to do is rewrite the expression correctly.
 We have:
 root (27x ^ 12 / 300x ^ 8)
 Rewriting:
 root ((27/300) * (x ^ 12 / x ^ 8))
 root ((9/100) * (x ^ (12-8)))
 root ((9/100) * (x ^ (4)))
 root ((9/100) * (x ^ (4)))
 3 * x ^ 2 * root ((1/100)
 (3 * x ^ 2) / 10
 (3/10) * (x ^ 2)
 Answer:
 (3/10) * (x ^ 2)

brilliants [131]

Note that there are 24 hours in 1 day, and 60 minutes in 1 hour

First, multiply 25 with 24

25 x 24 = 600

Next, add 600 with 9 hours

600 + 9 = 690

Note that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. Divide 7 minutes with 60

7/60 = ~0.12 (rounded)

~690.12 hours is your answer

hope this helps
