Answer:

It is not possible for Janet to have won 10 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of games Janet won.

We know that Nadia has won twice the number of games Janet has and the sum of the games Nadia and Janet have won together is 24.

Then, we express this situation with this equation:

So, let's check if it is possible for Janet to have won 10 games. Substitute  into the expression:

Therefore, it is not possible for Janet to have won 10 games.

Simplify the following expression 2/5 + 4/3 over 3/5
madreJ [45]
This written out is:

2/5 + 4/3
------------
     3/5

Roughly, now first we need to change the denominators to all match up in order to properly solve this problem.

Both 5 and 3 go into 15, 5 goes into 15 3 times and 3 goes into 15 5 times. With that said, multiply the individual numerators by 5 and 3.

2/5 -> 2*3/15 -> 6/15
4/3 -> 4*5/15 -> 20/15
3/5 -> 3*3/15 -> 9/15

With this, we then add the top numerator of the overall problem:

26/15
------- | With this we now cross-multiply.
 9/15

26/15 * 15/9 = 390/135 | Now to simplify this.

135 goes into 390 twice, as 270. Subtract 390 by 270, leaving us with 120.

Meaning: 2 120/135 is the answer, but now to simplify. Divide 120 and 135 by 5 to lessen this.

24/27 | Divide this by 3 to get your most simplified answer.
8/9 | Leaving us with the answer of:

2 8/9

I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Site A pays ...

... $0.65 × 5 = $3.25

Site B pays ...

... y = 0.60·5 = 3.00 . . . dollars

Site A pays more by ...

... $3.25 - 3.00 = $0.25

_____

You can also look at the difference in unit rates. Site A pays $0.65 per photo, while site B pays $0.60 per photo, a difference of $0.65 - 0.60 = $0.05 per photo. Then 5 photos will be worth $0.05 × 5 = $0.25 more at Site A.
