This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.

Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.

1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.

2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.

2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20

14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

A boat takes 2 hours to travel 15 miles upriver against the current. if the rate of the boat in still water is 12 miles per hour
OLga [1]

Answer:

4.5 mph or 9/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the current

Formula: Distance = rate x time

where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours

15=(12-x)(2)

15=24–2x

2x=24–15

2x= 9

x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)

A student uses four different tape-measures to estimate the length of a ruler manufactured to be exactly 1 foot long. Which meas
Scrat [10]
B) 12 inches would be the most accurate measurement. 

Since the ruler is exactly 1 foot long, the most accurate measurement is 12 inches. 12.005 is a tempting answer, since it is the most specific/exact, but 12 inches is the most accurate, since this is equal to exactly one foot.
