Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.
Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.
Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.
-----------
Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10
The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10
Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10
<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>
Answer:



Step-by-step explanation:
F [First terms] - Multiply the first terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT
O [Outside terms] - Multiply the first term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT by the last term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT
I [Inside terms] - Multiply the last term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT by the first term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT
L [Last terms] - Multiply the last terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT



I am joyous to assist you anytime.

so 1.25 is the right answer not sure tho
This is the worksheet I’m doing https://www.manhassetschools.org/cms/lib8/NY01913789/Centricity/Domain/710/Aim%2082%20Pd%209%20KEY.pdf
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
Any real number for x except 5, and any real number for y.
Explanation:
A function is a relation in which each element of the domain, or x-value, is mapped to one element of the range, or y-value. This means that no x can be mapped to more than one y, so if we have the same number used twice for x, we do not have a function.
This means that 5 cannot be used for x in the other ordered pair.
Since there is no restriction on y in order to be a function, y can be any real number.
