Find the sum of the two fractions show your work 3/8 and 1/2​

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 1/2 and 3/8 are unlike fractions. Our first when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.

The common denominator of 2 and 8 will be the least common multiple of 2 and 8 which is 8.

To get an 8 in the denominator of 1/2, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4 which gives us 4/8.

Notice that 3/8 already has an 8 in the denominator so we leave it how it is.

Now we are adding like fractions.

To add like fractions, or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.

So here, if we add the numerators we have 4 + 3 which gives us 7 and we put this over our original denominator which is 8 and we have our answer. Also, notice that 7/8 is in lowest terms so it's our final answer.

This means that 3/8 + 1/2 = 7/8

Explain how algebra tiles represent like terms and zero pairs
love history [14]

Answer:

Suppose the two like terms are 2 x and 3 x.So to Represent them with algebra tiles ,

Here shape of tiles = Either Square or rectangle

For example , 2 x=Draw two tiles of same color mark variable  x in front of it.For, different values of x, we get different number of total tiles.

3 x= Draw three tiles of same color and mark variable  x in front of it.For, different values of x, we get different number of total tiles.

For , Polynomial, 3 x -3,

Draw three tiles representing same color, Mark x over it, and then put negative sign in front of it, and draw three tiles of any other color.

To represent Zero,

We can write it as, x -x or p-p

Draw two tiles of same color , and mark negative sign in between .

General formula: A x - A x

Draw A tiles of same color, twice.And mark negative sign in between.

Answer the following question
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a) x = 5

b) x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x = 5

You can get this with a calculator if you need by using the log function.

log_{2} 32 = x

x = 5

b) x = 4

According to the product rule of exponents: a^{x} * a^{y} = a^{x + y}

So, x + 11 = 15 --> x = 4
