1 and 3/4 + 2 and 3/8
1 answer:
Hello There!
1 + 2
= 4
First, when we are trying to find the sum of a mixed number, I always add the natural numbers first meaning that the numbers before the fraction so I would add 1 and 2 together so we get a sum of 3 and now we are left with just a plain fraction.
Next, I find the least common denominator which is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for a set of fractions. Our lowest common denominator is 8 because =
.
Then, we add our fractions with the denominator of 8 together and get a sum of 9/8 which we can turn into a mixed number because the numerator is bigger than our denominator.
Our mixed number turns into 1 and 1/8 and we add 4 to it because that was the sum of our natural numbers and get a sum of 4 and 1/8

The hurdle and runner form a right triangle (see attached picture) such that
sin(30°) = <em>h</em> / (5 ft)
and
cos(30°) = <em>x</em> / (5 ft)
where <em>h</em> is the height of the hurdle and <em>x</em> is the horizontal distance from where the runner jumps to the hurdle. So
<em>h</em> = (5 ft) sin(30°) = 5/2 ft = 2.5 ft
<em>x</em> = (5 ft) cos(30°) = (5√3)/2 ft ≈ 4.33 ft
