How do you simplify 1/10+1/5+1/2

Ok first find the common denominator of all of them. The LCD is 10 so multiply 1/5(2) and I got 2/10. Then 1/2(5) is 5/10. Now the equation is 1/10 + 2/10 + 5/10. Keep in mind 2/10 is still 1/5 and 5/10 is still 1/2. Now, add and we got 8/10. 8/10 simplifies to 4/5, so 1/10+1/5+1/2= 4/5. :)

A ferry departs from a port along the Sands River at 10:00 am. The ferry travels at a speed of 15 mph in still water and returns

Answer:

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance covered

Let x be the speed of the rivers current

Speed upstream = 15-x

speed downstream = 15+x

Time = distance / speed

time upstream = $\frac{d}{15-x}$

time downstream = $\frac{d}{15+x}$

the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream

$\frac{d}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2d}{15+x}$

divide both sides by d

$\frac{1}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2}{15+x}$

cross multiply

$15+x= 2(15-x)$

$15+x= 30-2x$

Add 2x on both sideds

$15+3x= 30$

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

$3x=15$

x=5

Speed of river's current = 5 mph
