Answer:

You have written 26 pages in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

I always enjoyed adding fractions. Something about it is so... <em>simple.</em>

<u>The problem is basically asking us to add 20 1/2 and 5 1/2 together.</u>

I would first suggest adding both halves together, to make 1.

That way, we're left with 20 + 5 + 1. That seem easier, doesn't it?

Then we would add 20, 5 and 1 together, to get 26 whole pages.

And that, to an extent, is how I did it.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

Given:

Written pages for Act 1 = 20 1/2

Written pages for Act 2 = 5 1/2

For making mixed numbers like this easier to add, let's convert them first into an irrational number with this formula,

((Whole Number × Denominator) + Numerator)/Denominator

Thus,

for 20 1/2

((20 × 2) + 1)/2 = 41/2

for 5 1/2

((5 × 2) + 1)/2 = 11/2

Then we add,

41/2 + 11/2

Since, they have the same denominator, no more conversions need, proceed adding the numerators,

(41 + 11)/2 = 52/2 = 26

You've written 26 pages in total.

In September, a greeting card company's total profit was 22% less than it was in august. The total profit for the two months was
Trava [24]
Profit for August: x
Profit for September: x - 22%x
Total Profit for August & September: $689,000

x + x - 22% x = 689,000

2x - .22x = 689,000
1.78x = 689,000
x = 689,000/1.78
x = 387,078.65

August Profits: $387,078.65
September Profits: 387,078.65 - (22%)(387,078.65) = 387,078.65 - 85,157.30 = 301,921.35

August Profits: $387,078.65

September Profits
$301,921.35

Draw the figure with their measurements and find their volume
babunello [35]

1) Volume = L × W × H = 8 × 3 × 5 = <u>120 m³</u>

2) Volume = s³ = 17³ = 17 × 17 × 17 = <u>4913 cm³</u>

3) Volume = s³ = 30³ = 30 × 30 × 30 = <u>27000 cm³</u>

4) Volume = L × W × H = 13 × 5 × 7 = <u>455 cm³</u>

5) Volume = s³ = 15³ = 15 × 15 × 15 = <u>3375 cm³</u>

Find the perimeter of a rectangle that is 2 and 1/2 yards by 4 and 1/2 yards
Travka [436]
The answer is 14. First, get both numbers and add them twice (2.5+2.5+4.5+4.5) or (2.5 * 2 + 4.5 * 2). Then you should get 2 numbers which are 9 and 5. Then it should be 14, which is the answer.
