COMPUTE 3 ( 2 1/2 - 1 ) + 3/10

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{ \frac{24}{5} }$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{3(2 \frac{1}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$\mathrm{3( \frac{5}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the difference

⇒ $\mathrm{3( \frac{5 \times 1}{2 \times 1} - \frac{1 \times 2}{1 \times 2} }) + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{ 3 \times( \frac{5}{2} - \frac{2}{2}) } + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times ( \frac{5 - 2}{2} ) + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the product

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{3 \times 3}{1 \times 2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{10}}$

Add the fractions

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{9 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{3 \times 1}{10 \times 1} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45}{10} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45 + 3}{10 } }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{48}{10} }$

Reduce the numerator and denominator by 2

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{24}{5} }$

Further more explanation:

Addition and Subtraction of like fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of like fractions, you just have to add or subtract the numerator respectively in which the denominator is retained same.

For example :

Add : $\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1 + 3}{5} } = \frac{4}{5}$

Subtract : $\mathsf{ \frac{5}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{5 - 4}{7} = \frac{3}{7} }$

So, sum of like fractions : $\mathsf{ = \frac{sum \: of \: their \: number}{common \: denominator} }$

Difference of like fractions : $\mathsf{ \frac{difference \: of \: their \: numerator}{common \: denominator} }$

Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of unlike fractions, you have to express the given fractions into equivalent fractions of common denominator and add or subtract as we do with like fractions. Thus, obtained fractions should be reduced into lowest terms if there are any common on numerator and denominator.

For example:

$\mathsf{add \: \frac{1}{2} \: and \: \frac{1}{3} }$

L.C.M of 2 and 3 = 6

So, ⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2} }$

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} }$

⇒ $\frac{5}{6}$

Multiplication of fractions

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

When any number or fraction is divided by a fraction, we multiply the dividend by reciprocal of the divisor. Let's consider a multiplication of a whole number by a fraction:

$\mathsf{4 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6}$

Multiplication for $\mathsf{ \frac{6}{5} \: and \: \frac{25}{3} }$ is done by the similar process

$\mathsf{ = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{25}{3} = 2 \times 5 \times 10}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Differentiate between gymnosperms and angiosperms. Give one similarity and one difference.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary usually a fruit while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. Gymnosperm seeds are often configured as cones.

Reggie Means invested part of $31,000 in municipal bonds that earn 7.5% annual simple interest and the remainder of the money in

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Principal Invested in Municipal Bonds is $16,000

Principal Invested in Corporate Bonds is $15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If;

Principal Invested in municipal bonds = a

Principal Invested in corporate bonds = b

then we have;

a + b = $31,000 --------------------------------Equation 1

0.075a + 0.085b = $2,475 ---------------Equation 2

From equation 1 we have;

a = 31,000 - b

By putting the values of a in Equation 2 we get;

0.075 (31,000 - b) + 0.085b = 2,475

2,325 - 0.075b + 0.085b = 2,475

0.01b = 150

b = $15,000

By putting the values of b in equation 1 we get;

a = $16,000

Sixty percent (60%) of those who attended the soccer game were parents. There were 120 people who

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There were 120 people in total.

60% were parents.

To find:

Number of parents attended.

Solution:

1. 60% of 120

It can also be written as:

$\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{120}{1}$

Simplify

Cancel zeros

$\frac{60}{100}\\\\=\frac{6}{10}$

Divide by common factor (2)

$\frac{6\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{3}{5}$

2. $\bold{\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{120}{1}}$

Multiply

$\frac{3\times120}{5\times1} = \frac{360}{5}$

Divide

$\frac{360}{5}= 360\div5=72$

Therefore, 72 parents attended the game.
