Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first question by 2 in order for both of the denominators to be the same.

1*2=2
3*2=6

Now that the denominators are the same, we can simply add the numerators and simplify if possible.

(2/6)+(1/6)= (3/6)

(3/6)= (1/2)

Final answer: 1/2

You have to find the least common denominator. 6 is one. Multiply 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. Then you add 2/6 and 1/6 together to get 3/6. You can simplify it to get 1/2. Hope this helps! ;)

A cyclist rides at a constant speed of 15 miles per hour. At this speed, about how long would it take the cyclist to ride from F

frozen [14]

We need to find the time taken to travel from Frederick, MD to Baltimore, MD at a speed of 15 miles per hour.

The time taken to travel the distance is 3 hours and 20 minutes.

The shortest route from Frederick to Baltimore is 50.2 miles via the I-70 E.

So we can assume this route will be taken.

Speed of the cyclist = 15 mph

Time is given by distance divided by speed.

So,

$t=\dfrac{50.2}{15}\\\Rightarrow t=3.34\ \text{hours}$
