For this question you can say:
1/2 = 8/16
so now you can add easily:
9/16 + 8/16 = 17/16 and that's the simplest fraction but you can also say:
17/16 = 1.0625 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Area of sector is given as θ/360*πr²
Where,
θ = central angel of sector, m < DCE = 60°
r = radius = 4 feet
Area of sector = 




Area of the sector = 8/3π ft²
Out of 8 men, 4 can be selected and lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) = 1,680 ways.
But within that number, each group of 4 appears in (4 x 3 x 2) = 24 orders.
So there are (1,680 / 24) = 70 different groups of men.
Out of 5 women, 3 can be selected and lined up in (5 x 4 x 3) = 60 ways.
But within that number, each group of 3 appears in (3 x 2) = 6 orders.
So there are (60 / 6) = 10 different groups of women.
Each different group of 70 men can be joined by any of the 10 groups
of women. So the total number of possible subcommittees is (70 x 10) = 700 .
Answer:
x=3
y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5y = 16
3x + 2y = 5
Solve for x in the first equation.
2x - 5y = 16
2x = 16 + 5y
x = (16 + 5y)/2
x = 8 + 5/2y
Put x as 8 + 5/2y in the second equation and solve for y.
3(8+5/2y) + 2y = 5
24+15/2y + 2y = 5
24 + 19/2y = 5
19/2y = 5-24
19/2y = -19
y = -2
Put y as -2 in the first equation and solve for x.
2x - 5(-2) = 16
2x +10 = 16
2x = 16-10
2x = 6
x = 3
Joseph was swimming faster because 1/12 of a mile per minute is around 5 miles per hour so Joseph was swimming 0.5 miles per hour faster than Joe.
