1/4 + 3/8

Rewrite with the LCD (lowest common denominator)

Remember : the denominator is just the bottom number on a fraction.

Let's look at both of our given fractions denominator's.

4 & 8 → What do both of these numbers have in common? They both go into 8!

How many times does 4 go into 8? → Twice

How many times does 8 go into 8? → Once

So, because of that, we must multiply the top number (numerator) of each fraction with either one, or two.

First fraction : 1/4 × 2/2 =2/8 → So, our first fraction changes.

Second fraction : 3/8 × 1/1 = 3/8 → However, our second fraction changes.

So, our new question looks like this : 2/8 + 3/8

If you wanted us to answer this question, we simply need to add the top numbers (numerators) with one another because both fractions have the same bottom numbers (denominators).

2 + 3 = 5

So, our answer is 5/8 and our question rewritten with the LCD is : 2/8 + 3/8

Answer: 5.3 Hours

Step-by-step explanation: 140 mi there at 56 mi per hour would be 2.5 hours. Then back 140 mi at 50 mi/h would be 2.8. 2.5 plus a 2.8 is 5.3 hours

Can someone please help me with these 2 problems. With work please & thank u

Triss [41]

Answer:

I'm not good with the type of math on 3, so I'm going to answer 4. (P.S I don't know the question you're asking, so I'm going to assume you want to know the area and perimeter of the shapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve number 4 I added the width of the 2 triangles to give me the width of the rectangle, so then 2 times 9 is 18. Then for the triangles. The formula for triangles is base times height divided by 2. So we add the areas of all shapes and we get: 18+6+24=48m. So the area for number 4 is 48 meters.

(hope this was your question)

You bike 1 mile the first day of your training, 1.3 miles the second day, 1.9 miles the third day, and 3.1 miles the fourth d

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

$d_1=1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 1st day

$d_2=1.3 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

$d_3=1.9 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

$d_4=3.1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

$d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2$

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

$d_{n+1}-d_n=2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

This means that

$d_{n+1}=d_n+2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

$d_1=1\\d_2=1.3\\d_3=1.9\\d_4=3.1\\d_5=3.1+2\cdot 1.2=5.5\\d_6=5.5+2\cdot 2.4=10.3\\d_7=10.3+2\cdot 4.8=19.9 mi$

So, the distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.
