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

How do you write a quadratic equation in standard form?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

  • Powers of the variable descending left to right
  • right side of the equal sign is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For some constants a, b, and c, the standard form* is ...

  ax^2 + bx + c = 0

___

It is nice if the leading coefficient (a) is positive, but that is not required.

The main ideas are that ...

  • Powers of the variable are descending
  • All of the non-zero terms are on the left side of the equal sign
  • Like terms are combined

_____

* This is the <em>standard form</em> for a quadratic. For other kinds of equations, when the expression is equal to zero, this would be called "general form."

My am never friends have 3/4 and one nickel to spend if Maia and her friends share the money equally how much for each person ge
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Each person get = 20 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Maya and three friends have three quarters and one nickel to spend.

To find - If Maya and her friends share the money equally how much will each person get ?

Proof -

We know that

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 quarter = 25 cents

As they spent, 3 quarters and one nickel

So,

Total money spent = 3(25) + 5 = 75 + 5 = 80 cents

⇒Total money spent = 80 cents

Now,

Total people = 4 (Maya and three friends )

Now,

Given that, They share the money equally

So,

Each person get = \frac{80}{4} = 20 cents
