First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.

2/6 can be simplified to 1/3

We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.

5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.

Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.

6000/x would equal 4/15.

Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.

90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.

90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.

4/15 is the fraction by Jack

22500 is the total amount invested by all 3

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Difference = 283.2\ miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Average\ Speed = 34.8\ miles/hour

Highest\ Speed = 318.0\ miles/hour

Required

Determine the difference in the highest speed and the average speed

Difference = Highest\ Speed - Average\ Speed

Difference = 318.0\ miles/hour - 34.8\ miles/hour

Difference = 283.2\ miles/hour

<em>Hence, the highest speed is 283.2 miles/hour faster than the average speed</em>

saveliy_v [14]

This is not a form of income it is known as federal tax refund.

What is federal tax refund ?

Tax refunds are issued to taxpayers who have overpaid their taxes, or whose employers have withheld too much from their paychecks.

Therefore, A federal tax refund is not entered on a federal tax return so it is not income. Tax refunds from state governments can be itemized deductions on your federal tax return in the year they are issued.

It must be noted that If you electronically file your tax return or if you file a paper return, your refund is generally issued within 21 days.
