<span>Before you can add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find equivalent fractions with the same denominator, like this:
<span>Find the smallest multiple (LCM) of both numbers.
<span>Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCM as the denominator.</span></span></span>
Hope i helped!

When you add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. Then you add or subtract the numerators and have that same denomenator

A criminal has escaped in a train wreck. The police believe he could have traveled no more than 7 mi in any direction from the w

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

A = 153.94 sq mi

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, we would be starting from the center point and searching the area of a square since the distance in every direction would the same 7 mi. This 7-mile distance would be our radius in this scenario. We now need to use the formula for the Area of a circle to calculate the search area. This formula is the following

A = $\pi r^{2}$

A = $\pi 7^{2}$

A = $\pi 49$

A = 153.94 sq mi

A total of 153.94 square miles must be searched.

What is the quotient StartFraction 15 p Superscript negative 4 Baseline q Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over negative 20 p Sup

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$-\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6}}{-20p^{-12}q^{-3}}$ can be broken down into three fractions, coefficients, powers of p, powers of q.

$-\frac{15}{20}\cdot\frac{p^{-4}}{p^{-12}}\cdot\frac{q^{-6}}{q^{-3}}$

Simplify the first fraction, then simplify the others by subtracting numerator exponents minus denominator exponents.

$-\frac{3}{4} p^{-4-(-12)} q^{-6-(-3)} =-\frac{3}{4} p^8 q^{-3} = \alpha -\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}$

(3) The difference between two numbers is 8. If the larger is

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

x= 62

y= 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the numbers be x and y and the larger be x the smaller be y

The difference between two numbers is 8

x-y= 8-----------1

If the larger is subtracted from three times the smaller, the difference is 100

3y-x=100------------2

from eqn 1, x= 8+y

put this in eqn 2

3y-(8+y)=100

3y-8-y=100

collect liker terms

3y-y-8=100

2y=108

y= 54

put y= 54 in eqn 1

x-y=8

x-54= 8

x= 8+54

x=62

A college financial adviser is interested in studying the number of students at his college who apply for loans when entering gr

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

0.7429

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Of the 721 students at the college, 299 of them apply for loans when entering graduate school.

So p = proportion of students applying for loans = $\frac{299}{721} =0.415$

Each student is independent of the other and there are two outcomes

Hence out of 45 students the no of students who apply for loans say X is binomial with n =45 and p = 0.415

the probability that more than 16 of them apply for loans

= $P(X>16)\\= \Sigma_{x=17} ^{45} P(x)\\=\Sigma_{x=17} ^{45}(45Cx (0.415)^x (0.585)^{25-x} )$

=0.7429
