Hello there!
For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!
The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.
So:
1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12
2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12
Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).
When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).
So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours
Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)
Hope this helped!

A line has the following standard equation form:
y = m x + b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
So if Ariel cannot find the slope, then this would only
mean that m = 0, there is no slope. And hence the line is either a straight
vertical line or straight horizontal line.
Answer:
<span>There is no slope</span>
3x - 5 = 2x is the equation
Getting 10% a month is the best option if she put $500 in. That would be $50 the first month. $55 the second month etc. -- which would be more than the $500 in answer 1.
Answer:
The difference in amount = $430
Step-by-step explanation:
1- Annual contract:
The annual contract means a contract for 12 months. There is a month penalty for breaking the lease.
This means that, if you left after 8 months, you will have to pay for 10 month.
Total paid = monthly payment * 10
Total paid = 535 * 10 = $5350
2- Month-to-month contract:
You will only paid for the 8 months you stayed,
Total paid = monthly payment * 8
Total paid = 615 * 8 = $4920
3- Getting the difference:
We can note that a month-month contract is a better option if you intend to stay for only 8 months
Difference = 5350 - 4920 = $430
Hope this helps :)
