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

Z - 12 = 6<br> A. 10<br> B. 15<br> C. 18<br> D. 6<br><br> Need help working it out
const2013 [10]
Z-12=6

you take the 12 and add it to both sides making it look like:
z-12+12=6+12
which also looks like
z-0=6+12

z-0 = z

so now you have
z=6+12

6+12 = 18

SO Z=18!!!

your answer is 18

anna is shopping for a new backpack. The probability that the backpack is pink is 0.7, and teh probability that it is canvas is
harkovskaia [24]

The probability that it is pink or canvas is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the meaning of "or" , "and" on probability :

  • The use of the word "or" means that you are calculating the probability  that either event A or event B happened.  Both events do not have to happen
  • The use the word "and", means that both event A and B have to happen

The addition rules are:

  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ⇒ mutually exclusive (events cannot happen  at the same time)
  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) ⇒ non-mutually exclusive (if they  have at least one outcome in common)

Anna is shopping for a new backpack

∵ The probability that the backpack is pink is 0.7

∴ P(pink) = 0.7

∵ The probability that it is canvas is 0.7

∴ P(canvas) = 0.7

∵ The probability that it is pink and canvas is 0.5

∴ P(pink and canvas) = 0.5

Substitute the values above in the rule below

∵ P(pink or canvas) = P(pink) + P(canvas) - P(pink and canvas)

∴ P(pink or canvas) = 0.7 + 0.7 - 0.5

∴ P(pink or canvas) = 0.9

The probability that it is pink or canvas is 0.9
