The answer to that question is the sum of the hours he studied for on both days, which will be 1/4 + 3/8.
However, we cannot add fractions with different denominators. In this case, it's 4 and 8.
So if we want to add them, we must make the denominators similar to each other. How to make 4 into 8? We multiply it by 2: 4 x 2 = 8.
BUT when we multiply fractions, we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number to keep its original value. In this case, if you want to multiply 4 by 2, you must also multiply 1 by 2.
=> SO to make 1/4 into y/8, we will multiply it like this (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8
Now we can add the 2 fractions together. 2/8 + 3/8 = (2 + 3)/8 = 5/8. THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.
TL;DR: He studied 5/8 (or 0.625) hour altogether on both days.
Answer:
x = 4/3
y = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations! This is set up really well to make the second equation equal x then substitute.
x - y = 1
x = 1 + y
and then our substitution:
2 (1+y) + y = 3
and solve:
2 + 2y + y = 3
3y + 2 = 3
3y = 1
y = 1/3
And now we can substitute that value into one of our equations:
x - (1/3) = 1
x = 4/3
Next we should check by substituting these values into both of our equations:
2 (4/3) + (1/3) = 3
9 / 3 does equal 3 !
(4/3) - (1/3) does equal 1 !
Therefore, x = 4/3 , and y = 1/3
Answer:
