This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+1=2x-5
-1 -1
4x= 2x-6

Answer:
$13,695.98
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the continuous compound interest formula to solve:
<em>P = principal amount</em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>
<em>t = time (years)</em>
<em />
First, lets change 8% into a decimal:
8% -> 
-> 0.08
Now, lets plug in the values:
The account balance after 10 years will be $13,695.98
This area is equal to the sum of a circle with a radius of 5/2 in and a rectangle 5 by 15 in so:
A=πr^2+xy
A=π(2.5)^2+5*15
A=6.25π+75 in^2
A≈94.63 in^2 (to nearest hundredth) so
A≈95 in^2 (to nearest whole square inch)
