Do you remember that we cannot add fractions when they have unlike denominators? We can onyl add fractions as long as they have the same denominator!
So here's the big idea: fractions must have the same denominator.
If we multiply the first fraction by 2, then both fractions will have the same denominator. *
* <em>Why 2??</em>
<em />
- Because:
We need to find the least common multiple of 3 and 6, which is 6. Next, what should 3 be multiplied by to result in 6? That's right, 2.
Also, we can only multiply the denominator by 2 as long as we multiply the numerator by 2!
So that's why we multiply the whole fraction by 2

Answer:
$4.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the price is proportional to the quantity of oranges. If p is the desired price in dollars, we want ...
p/8 = 0.25/(1/2)
p = 8(0.50) = 4.00 . . . . multiply by 8, simplify
8 kg of oranges would cost $4.00.
B 1/2 because there is a 6/12 chance simpllify that and it's 1/2
The answer to your question is
y= 1/11x +21/11
