Harry makes no sense because 1/4 into a denominator of 8 is 2/8. So 2/8 + 1/8 is equal to 3/8 and Harry has done the equation wrong.

Harry is wrong and Jane is right because to add fractions they have to have a common denominator. Because 8 is a multiple of 4, 8 is the common denominator so....
1/4+1/8
To change 1/4 to have 8 as the denominator you have to multiply the top and bottom by 2.
1/4*2/2= 2/8.
2/8+1/8= 3/8

Hope this helps

Figure EFGHK is to be transformed to Figure E'F'G'H'K' using the rule (x, y)→(x + 8, y + 5):
IceJOKER [234]
The rule that has been given means that x coordinate of some point we increase by 8 and y coordinate of some point we increase by 5.

Coordinates of K point on original Figure are:
(-2,-3)

once we implement rule on this we get K':

K' ( -2+8,-3+5) 
or 
K' ( 6,2)

Answer is third option.

17. Which of the following equations would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5? (
Naddik [55]

The equation 3y = x + 1 would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5 ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slopes and different y-intercepts

To find which equation would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5

1. Put the equation in the form of y = mx + c

2. m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept

3. Look for the equation which has the same values of m and different

   values of c

∵ 3y = x + 5

- Divide each term of the equation by 3 to put the equation in the

 form of y = mx + c

∴ y = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{5}{3}

∴ m = \frac{1}{3}

∴ c = \frac{5}{3}

The first answer:

∵ 3y = x + 1

- Divide each term of the equation by 3

∴ y = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{1}{3}

∴ m = \frac{1}{3}

∴ c = \frac{1}{3}

∵ The two equations have same slope m = \frac{1}{3}

∵ The two equations have different y-intercepts c = \frac{5}{3}

   and c = \frac{1}{3}

∴ 3y = x + 5 and 3y = x + 1 represent two parallel lines

The equation 3y = x + 1 would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5

Which conversion factors can be used to find the number of hours in a week? Select all that apply.
Archy [21]

Answer:

3rd and 4th options are correct that is 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the conversion factors that can be used to find number of hours in a week.

We know that,

Number of hours in a day = 24

and

Number of days in a week = 7

So, Number of hours in 7 days = 24 × 7 = 168.

Therefore, 3rd and 4th options are correct that is 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.
