Since 3/5 of the students wore blue shirts and 1/4 of the students wore white shirts, you need to find the Total of 3/5 and 1/4.
First, step find a common denominator for both fractions
EXAMPLE: 3/5+1/4=Total 3/5 becomes 12/20 and 1/4 becomes 5/20.
Second, notice that both fractions now have the same denominator, now you can find the sum of both fractions which is 17/20
Finally, you need to check if the fraction can be SIMPLIFIED if not then the fraction is already im simplest form.
THE ANSWER: 17/20 of students wore either a blue or white shirt on Friday

Factorise each of the following algebraic expressions completely,
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

2k - 6k² + 4k³ ← factor out 2k from each term

= 2k(1 - 3k + 2k²)

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the constant term ( 1) and the coefficient of the k² term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term (- 3)

The factors are - 1 and - 2

Use these factors to split the k- term

1 - k - 2k + 2k² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

1(1 - k) - 2k(1 - k) ← factor out (1 - k) from each term

= (1 - k)(1 - 2k)

1 - 3k + 2k² = (1 - k)(1 - 2k) and

2k - 6k² + 4k³ = 2k(1 - k)(1 - 2k)

(b)

Given

2ax - 4ay + 3bx - 6by ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2a(x - 2y) + 3b(x - 2y) ← factor out (x - 2y) from each term

= (x - 2y)(2a + 3b)

What is the median of 60 57 53 78 44 51 please help and thank u
maksim [4K]
To find the median cancel out numbers on both sides, until one is left in the middle and if there are two in the middle add them up and divide by two. 

So in this case the median is 
53+78
131 / 2
65.5
