First of all, you add 1/3 and 4/5, so you get:
\frac{1}{3} +  \frac{4}{5}

To add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Since 3 and 5 don't have a common factor, so you multiply 1/3 by 5, and 4/5 by 3, so you get:
\frac{1*5}{3*5} +  \frac{4*3}{5*3}
\frac{5}{15} +  \frac{12}{15}

Now, the two fractions got the same denominator, and you can add them by adding the numerators over the same denominator. (You don't add denominators in addition) so you get:
\frac{5+12}{15}
\frac{17}{15}

That's the sum of 1/3 + 4/5.

Now, they want the sum of the 2 fractions 7 times. So you multiply 17/15 by 7. And as you know, 7 = 7/1. So you get:
\frac{17}{15} *  \frac{7}{1}

In multiplication no need to have the same denominator. You multiply nominators by nominators and denominators by denominators. So you get:
\frac{17*7}{15*1}
\frac{119}{15}

Since 119 and 15 don't have a common factor, so they can't be simplified.
So, the answer is 119/15. 

Hope this Helps! :D

What you have to do first is to add \frac{1}{3} and \frac{4}{5},

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Therefore we have:

= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5}

= ( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5} ) / 15 (15 is the smallest number that divide both denominator also known as LCD)

= (5 x 1) + (3 x 4) / 15

= 5 + 12 / 15

= \frac{17}{15}

Therefore, the sum of \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5} is \frac{17}{15}

But since the question says you should determine the sum of the 2 fractions, therefore you should multiply \frac{17}{15} by 7. Therefore you should have:

\frac{17}{15} X 7 (7 can also be expressed as \frac{7}{1})

= \frac{17}{15} x \frac{7}{1} (notably, in multiplication there is no need for the fraction to have the same denominator. You can multiply both numbers at the top together (numerator) and do same with the denominator.

= \frac{119}{15}

= 7\frac{14}{15}

Therefore, 7 times as much as the sum of \frac{1}{3} and \frac{4}{5} is 7\frac{14}{15}

Consider the given parallelogram KLMN.

Prove: \angle N \cong \angle L, \angle K \cong \angle M

 Statement                                                                       Reason

1. KL \parallel NM, KN \parallel LM               Definition of parallelogram

2. \angle K+ \angle N = 180^\circ                 Same Side interior angle theorem

   \angle L+ \angle M = 180^\circ

  \angle K+ \angle L = 180^\circ

3. \angle K+ \angle N=\angle K+ \angle L   Substitution property

  \angle L+ \angle M=\angle K+ \angle L

4. \angle N = \angle L                                 Subtraction property of equality

  \angle M = \angle K

Subtraction property of equality tells us that if we subtract some number from one side of an equation, we also must subtract from the other side of the equation to keep the equation the same.

5.  \angle N \cong \angle L                         Angle Congruence Postulate

  \angle M \cong \angle K

When two angles are equal, then they are said to be congruent by Angle congruence postulate.

P varies directly with the square of R. When R is 4, P is 56. Find the value of P when R is 6
Sav [38]
Hey!
The formula of direct variation is y = kx. So we know that p = kr^2
Hint: after it says varies, it's basically the equal sign. 
so we can set it up
56 = 4^2k
56=16k
now we want k alone so we have to divide 16 on both sides
k=3.5
We can now solve for p like it asks
p = 3.5*6^2
p=126
There's your answer!
Hope this helps!
