On Saturday, Craig rode his bike 5/8 of a mile. On Sunday, he rode his bike 1/2 of a mile. Craig added 5/8 + 1/2 to find the tot

al distance, in miles, he rode his bike on the two days. Craig said 5/8 + 1/2 = 6/10 and plotted 6/10 on this number line.
* Explain why Craig's answer is not responsible.
* Find the total distance, in miles, Craig rode on his bike Saturday and Sunday.
* Explain how to use the number line to show your answer is correct.

Hi there!

Craig's reason is not reasonable because when you add fractions you have to find equivalent fractions.

The total distance in miles would be 1 1/8 miles.

By using a number line, line up the fractions, so then you could add them both.

Hope this helps :)

A test has thirty questions worth 100 points. The test consists of True/False questions worth 3 points each and multiple choice
Vika [28.1K]
So let's break this question down.
You need a bit of both, right? Well we need to calculate how many multiple choices we can do whilst having true/false questions, and not going over or under on points.

So, let's pick a random number, 5. So let's do 8x5, that equals 40.
ohmygoditsrightiwasseriouslyjustguessing
Ok so now we have our number, 5 multiple choice questions. 
The true/false questions should be easy, just do 3x20 and you get 60.

forsale [732]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Formula</u><u> </u><u>U</u><u>s</u><u>e</u><u>d</u>

<u>By distance formula,</u>

  • d (A,B)=√[(x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)²]

\sf \longmapsto \: D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

\sf \longmapsto= √(9+5)²+(2-2)²

Simplify the rational expression. state any restrictions on the variable. n^4-11n^2+30/n^4-7n^2+10
Andrej [43]
<span>For this case we have the following expression:
</span> \frac{n ^ 4-11n ^ 2 + 30}{ n ^ 4-7n ^ 2 + 10} &#10;&#10;
<span> We are going to make the following change of variables:
 </span>x = n ^ 2&#10;
 <span>Rewriting the expression we have:
 </span>\frac{(x ^ 2-11x + 30)}{(x ^ 2-7x + 10)} &#10;&#10;
 <span>Factoring the expression we have:
 </span>\frac{(x-5) (x-6)}{(x-5) (x-6)} &#10;
 <span>Canceling similar terms we have:
 </span>\frac{x-6}{x-2} &#10;
 <span>Returning the change we have:
 </span>\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2} &#10;&#10;
<span> The resctrictions of the function are those that make the denominator equal to zero.
 We have then:
 </span>n ^ 2-2 = 0&#10;&#10;n = +/-  \sqrt{2} &#10;
<span> Answer:
 The simplified expression is:
 </span>\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2}
 <span>The restrictions are:
 </span>n = \sqrt{2} &#10;
 n = -  \sqrt{2}
