Answer:

25/24

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12 * 1 = 5/12

1 = 2/2

5/12 * 1 = (5/12) * (2/2) = (5*2)/(12*2) = 10/24

3/3 = 1

5/8 * 1 = (5/8) * (3/3) = (5*3)/(8*3) = 15/24

then:

(5/12) + (5/8) = (10/24) + (15/24) = (10+15) / 24 = 25/24

Answer:

1 1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12 + 5/8

We need a common denominator of 24

Convert the first number to have a denominator of 24

5/12 *2/2 = 10/24

Convert the second number to have a denominator of 24

5/8*3/3 = 15/24

Add the two converted numbers together

10/24 + 15/24

25/24

Change from an improper fraction to a mixed number

24/24 + 1/24

1 1/24

a wheelchair ramp has a rise from the ground of 1 foot. the ramp has a length of 14 feet. to the nearest degree, find the angle

sergey [27]

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA helps you remember the relevant trig relationship is
Sin(α) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(α) = (1 ft)/(14 ft)
α = arcsin(1/14) ≈ 4°

The angle the ramp makes with the sidewalk is 4°.

In a region, there is a 0.7 probability chance that a randomly selected person of the population has brown eyes. Assume 12 peop

marshall27 [118]

The probability of people having brown eyes is 0.7*12=8.4, thus approximately 8-9 people out of the twelve will most likely have brown eyes. You haven't stated what you are trying to find out, but I'm assuming you are looking for this answer.

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

case 1) For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

case 2) For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

case 3) For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

case 4) For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

case 5) For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

case 6) For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6

The fan cost index represents the cost of four average price tickets

777dan777 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

soccer: $50.31
hockey: $57.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the FCI for soccer. The given values tell us ...

s + (s +7.47) = 108.09

2s = 100.62 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 7.47

s = 50.31

s+7.47 = 57.78

The FCI for soccer was $50.31; the FCI for hockey was $57.78.
