So basically the question just wants you to add fractions so we set up the problem like this
1/2+1/5+1/8=weight of herbs=x (x signifies an unknown number)

so we have to get the bottom numbers the same before we can add them so we have to find the smallest number that they all can multiply into
so
       2=2
       5=5
       8=2*2*2
       so the smallest number that that will go into all three of the numbers is
     2*2*2*5 =40
so the bottom number will be 40
so 1/2 is equal to 20/40
1/5=8/40
1/8=5/40
so 20/40+8/40+5/40=33/40
answer is 33/40 grams
so

Lisa makes a cherry pie and an apple pie. She cuts the cherry pie into six equal wedges and she cuts the apple pie into eight eq
ale4655 [162]

Both the pies at first have 360* as their initial complete angles.

The Cherry Pie is cut into 6 parts equal and the angular width of each piece will be 360/6=60*...therefore, each piece is 60*.

the Apple Pie is cut into 8 parts and the angle of each piece would be 360/8=45*...therefore, each piece is 45*.

Now the angular difference between the pieces of the 2 pies is 60*-45* = 15*.

Therefore the Cherry pie's piece is 15* greater than the Apple pie's piece.

Find the area of the parallelogram.
vodka [1.7K]
The height of the parallelogram is 8 because using the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
6^2+x^2=10^2
36+x^2=100
100-36=64
square root of 64=8
area of parallelogram:
a=bh
a=8*14
a=112 units ^2
