Step-by-step explanation:
As ratio of desktops to laptops=3:4
Take no. of desktops= 3x
Take no. of Laptops=4x
Total no. of desktops+ Total no. of laptops = Total no. of computers
3x+4x=70
7x=70
x=10
Hence, the total no, of desktops= 3x
Hence, Total no. of desktops= 3×10
=30 desktops
Given,
2pen and 5 pencil cost 120
3pen and 2 pencil cost 114
let pen be X and pencil be Y
2x+5y=120 ......(1)
3x+2y=114 ........(2)
solving 1 and 2 , we can get the value of pen and pencil.
x=30
Y=12
Answer: 17/24
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 1/8 and 7/12 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.
The common denominator of 8 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 12 which is 24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 1/8, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/12, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which gives us 14/24. Now we're adding like fractions.
3/24 + 14/24
To add like fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.
So here, if we add the numerators we have 3 + 14 which gives us 17. We put this over our original denominator which is 24. So we have 17/24.
So 1/8 + 7/12 is 17/24.
