First, find the least common denominator, which in this case is 20.
Then, multiply the numerator the same amount of times that you did the denominator, which is 5 and 4, respectively, which equals 5 and 8, respectively.
Then, add the numerators, which equals 13.
So, 13/20 is your final answer.

In order to solve this,we need to make sure that the denominators are the same. We can do this by finding the lowest common denominator, meaning which number in the denominator when multiplied by 1,2,3,4 etc will give us the lowest possible number. In this case it is 20. Since we are changing the denominator we have to multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 5 which gives us 5/20, and we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 4, giving us 8/20

Now we just the numerators of the two fractions which gives us the answer of 13/20

Use complete sentences to describe how logarithms can aid in difficult calculations.
Burka [1]
First, it is to be understood that logarithms allow a person to subject a number as an exponent of a base. As an example of ways in which logarithm is used to aid us in difficult calculations is when we calculate for the pH of a substance which has a formula of,
                                       pH = -log[H+]

The length of a log of wood is 90 in. How many cuts do you need to make to obtain
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

The total length of the wood = 90 in

We have to cut it into the greatest number of pieces, where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches.

We can cut it like:

1 in, 2 in, 3 in, 4 in, and so on

The above shows the arithmetic sequence,

The sum of the n natural number is given by:

\rm S_n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}

\rm 90 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}

After solving, we will get a quadratic equation:

n² + n -180 = 0

After solving, we will get:

n = 12.92 and n = -13.92(term can not be negative)

n = 12 (taking whole number)

Thus, the greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).
