Answer:

The recipe calls for 19/12 or 1 7/9 cups.

Step-by-step:

In order to get this answer, we have to add all three fractions together. First, we have to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) between the three denominators:

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

3: 3,6,9,12

4: 4,8,12

The LCM between these three denominators is 12.

4x3=12

2x6=12

3x4=12

You now multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied by for the denominator in order to get 12:

3/4 becomes 9/12

1/2 becomes 6/12

1/3 becomes 4/12

We now add all the fractions together:

9/12+6/12+4/12= 19/12

We got 19/12 but the answer is an improper fraction so we turn it into a mixed number:

12x1=12 (7 remaining)

This is written as 1 7/12.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Volume of original toolbox = 180 in³

Yes, doubling one dimension only would double the volume of the toolbox.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = L x W x H

10 x 6 x 3 = 180 in³

proof:

double length = 20 x 6 x 3 = 360 in³, which is double the original

double width = 10 x 12 x 3 = 360 in³, which is double the original

double height = 10 x 6 x 6 = 360 in³, which is double the original

Brady rode his bike 70 miles in 4 hours. He rode at an average speed of 17 miles per hour for t hours and at an average rate of

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Brady rides at slower speed which is 17 miles/hours for <em><u>3 hours and 36 minutes.</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brady rode 70 miles in 4 hours.

For $t$ hours he rode at the average rate of 17 miles/hour

For rest of the time he rode at the average rate of 22 miles per hour.

To find the time Braady rode at the slower speed.

Solution:

Total time of riding = 4 hours

Time for which Brady rides at 17 miles/ hour = $t$ hours

Distance covered in $t$ hours = $Speed\times time=17\times t =17t\ miles$

So, time for which Brady rides at 22 miles/ hour = $(4-t)$ hours

Distance covered in $(4-t)$ hours = $Speed\times time=22\times(4-t) =(88-22t)\ miles$

Total distance can be given as:

⇒ $17t+88-22t$

Simplifying.

⇒ $-5t+88$

Total distance given =70 miles.

Thus, the equation to find $t$ can be given as:

$-5t+88=70$

Subtracting both sides by 88.

$-5t+88-88=70-88$

$-5t=-18$

Dividing both sides by -5.

$\frac{-5t}{-5}=\frac{-18}{-5}$

∴ $t=3.6$ hours

$3.6\ hours = 3\ hour+ (0.6\times 60)\ minutes = 3\ hour\ 36\ minutes$

Thus, Brady rides at slower speed which is 17 miles/hours for 3 hours and 36 minutes.
