7 1/4 + 5 3/5
First, you need a common denominator to add the two. 20 will work.
4x5=20, so we have to also multiply 1 by 5.
4x5=20, 1x5=5
5x4=20, so we have to also multiply 3 by 4.
5x4=20, 3x4=12
And now we put the fractions back in.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20
And add them.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20 = 12 17/20
Now, we're supposed to reduce it to its lowest form.
Unfortunately, the fraction cannot be reduced, because 17 is a prime number, meaning there are no factors to it except one and itself.
Therefore, the lowest form of 12 17/20 is 12 17/20
Your answer is B, 12 17/20
Answer:
105/8 = 13 1/8 = 13.125
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to turn the (-5 5/8) into a mixed number. The mixed number you should be getting is - 45/8. The second step is to convert the (-2 1/3) into a mixed number as well, your second mixed number should be -7/3. Next multiply the two fractions, - 45/8 x (-7/3) = 315/24.
We can simplify 315/24 by dividing by 3, so you'll divide 315 divided by 3 and 24 divided by 3 and you should get ... 105/8. So 105/ 8 is equal to
13 1/8. If you need this fraction in decimal form it is 13.125.
Answer: B) 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 divided by 2 is the same as 5/6 x 1/2
<em>Question:</em>
The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3 : 2. What is the measure of the larger angle?
—————
<em>Solution:</em>
Call those two angles x and y, where x is the larger one.
If they are complementary, then their sum equals 90°:
x + y = 90° (i)
Also, the ratio between x and y is 3 : 2, so
x 3
—— = ——
y 2
Product of the extremes = product of the means:
2x = 3y
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
Now, just solve this system of equations:
x + y = 90° (i)
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
Solve it with elimination. Since you want to know the value of the larger angle, which is x, then eliminate the variable y by doing the following:
Multiply the equation (i) by 3,
3x + 3y = 270° (iii)
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
then add both equations, so you cancel out the variable y:
3x + 2x + 3y – 3y = 270° + 0
3x + 2x = 270°
5x = 270°
270°
x = ———
5
x = 54° <——— this is the measure of the larger angle.
I hope this helps. =)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilometers, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation.:
We want to determine the value of t for which the area, A(t)=15 square kilometers.
Therefore, the time for which the area will be 15 sqyare kilometers is:
-20 ln(1/3) years.
