Hello, I need help with this question.

Answer:

The answer would be 22/12 or 1 and 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2+2/3+3/4

First get common denominators so you have a denominator of 12 so 6/12+8/12+9/12

Add those together and you get 23/12 but you have to subtract one because that's what the problem says so you get 22/12

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

Please help me ASAP! I will friend you (probably)! The first correct answer will get brainiest! Terry and Tao are canoeing on a

ivann1987 [24]

<span>erry starts rowing at 2 pm from the west end of the lake, and Tao starts rowing from the east end of the lake at 2:05 pm.
------
Terry DATA:
rate = 60 meter/min ; time = x min ; distance = r*t = 60x meters
-----
Tao DATA:
rate = 40 meter/min ; time = x-5 min ; distance = r*t = 40(x-5) meters
--------------------------
If they always row directly towards each other at what time will the two meet?

------
Equation:
dist + dist = 2000 meters
60x + 40(x-5) = 2000
20x = 1800
x = 90 minutes

The student council had six fund raisers during the school year. They raised $212, $205, $206, $190, $188, and $195. Using the c

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

The clustering method for estimation is a method used for estimating the sums and products of numbers. This method is used when the numbers that are to be multiplied or added are near in value to a single number.

Given the money raised by six fund raisers:

$212, $205, $206, $190, $188, and $195

The numbers are to be added to find the total money raised. i.e.:

$212 + $205 + $206 + $190 + $188 + $195

But all the numbers are close to $200. Hence:

Using clustering method = $200 + $200 + $200 + $200 + $200 + $200 = 6 * $200 = $1200
