What is a rational number halfway between 6/7 and 5/6

Mathematics

Well hmmm let's see hmm
our denominators are 7 and 6

so.. their LCD or a GCF for that matter..  is just 7 * 6 or 42

so let's make both fractons the same denominator,
that is, the LCD of 42

for the 7, we need to multiply by 6
we do that to the denominator, we have to
also do it for its numerator

for the 6, we multiply by 7
we do that for the denominator, we need to
also do it for its numerator

so, we end up with 
\bf \begin{cases}
\cfrac{6}{7}\cdot \cfrac{6}{6}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 6}{7\cdot 6}\implies \cfrac{36}{42}
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{5}{6}\cdot \cfrac{7}{7}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 7}{6\cdot 7}\implies \cfrac{35}{42}
\end{cases}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{so.. hmmm they're next to one another, kinda}\\\\
\textit{let us use }\frac{35}{42}+0.5\textit{ or half a bit more}\\\\
\textit{pass 35 and below 36}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{35}{42}+0.5\implies \cfrac{35}{42}+\cfrac{1}{2}

so.. that rational is, passed 35/42 and  before 36/42
so. is between, half-way really, since we used 1/2

now, we could have use some other fraction of 1,
say 1/25 or 1/7 or 3/23  and those would have also worked,
because they're passed 35/42 and before 36/42

Nathan earns $1500 a week. Calculate his new weekly wage if he receives a pay rise of 20%
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$1800

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approanch

An easy way to calculate one's salary after they recive a raise is to, convert the percent that one's salary is increased into a decimal; divide the percent by 100. Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.

2. Solving

Original salary; 1500

Raise; 20%

<u>a. convert the raise as a percent into a decimal, then add 1</u>

20% = 0.2

0.2 + 1 = 1.2

<u>b. multiply the number by the original salary</u>

1.2 * 1500

1800

14. Given: 5x + 4y = 24, x + 7y= 11; Prove: y= 1<br> Statements<br> reasons
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the process of elimination as

5x + 4y = 24

5(x + 7y = 11) —>          5x + 35y = 55

5x + 4y = 24

-(5x + 35y = 55)

—————————

-31y = -31

-31y/-31 = -31/-31

y=1
