Answer: 2/3
Step-by-step explanation: To find how much of the candy bar they each have, we will have to add the fractions. To add unlike fractions such as 1/3 and 4/12, we first need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 12 is simply the least common multiple of 3 and 12 which is 12. To get 12 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 4/12. Notice that our second fraction already has 12 in the denominator so we can now add these fractions.
+
=
.
Notice that 8/12 can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4.
8 ÷ 4 = 2
12 ÷ 4 = 3
Therefore, Jackie and Steven have 2/3 of a Hershey bar.

Answer:
- asymptotes: x = -5, x = 5
- zero: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The function of interest is ...
The asymptotes are found where the denominator is zero. It will be zero when either factor is zero, so at x = 5 and x = -5
__
The zeros are found where the numerator is zero. It will be zero for x = 0.
The asymptotes are x=-5, x=5; the zero is x=0.
