9/16+ 1/2
= 9/16+ (1*8) / (2*8) 
= 9/16+ 8/16 (common denominator is 16)
= (9+8)/16
= 17/16
= (16+1)/16
= 16/16+ 1/16
= 1+ 1/16
= 1 1/16

The final answer is 1 1/16~

So you have to make them fractions with common denominators. Obviously they aren't yet. So, what number can bboth 16 and 2 go into? 16.

9/16 can stay as is, but we need to multiply 1/2 until we get ?/16.
2*8=16
Since we now have 16 on the bottom, we need to multiply the top by 8 too.
1*8=8
So your final fraction is 8/16.
But we aren't done yet. You still need to add the fractions to gether.
9/16 + 8/16 = 17/16 --> This can be simplified further down to 1 1/16.

I hope this helps!

Gwar [14]
25 divided by 23 will not come out as a whole number. 23 goes into 25 1 time so the answer would be 1..... But I guess the answer would be A since that's the closest answer choice.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6 inches more than the perimeter of a square, and the side of the triangle is 4 inch
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The length of the side of the triangle is 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = perimeter of the equilateral triangle

Let P = perimeter of the square

Let s = length of side of the triangle

Let S = length of side of the square

"The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6 inches more than the perimeter of a square"

p = P + 6      Equation 1

"the side of the triangle is 4 inches longer than the side of the square"

s = S + 4      Equation 2

We have 2 equations and 4 unknowns. We need two more equations. We use the definition of perimeter to get the other two equations.

For an equilateral triangle,

p = 3s      Equation 3

For a square,

P = 4S      Equation 4

Substitute p and P of Equation 1 with equations 3 and 4. Then write equation 2.

3s + 4S = 6

s = S + 4

Now we have a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns. We can solve for s and S. We can use the substitution method. Solve the second equation for S.

S = 4 - s

Substitute S = 4 - s into equation 3s + 4S = 6.

3s + 4(4 - s) = 6

3s + 16 - 4s = 6

-s = -10

s = 10

Answer: The length of the side of the triangle is 10 inches.

What will 0.16 be as a fraction?
nata0808 [166]

The six is in the hundredths place so we will out the fraction as “over a hundred”, meaning 16/100. But this can be simplified to 4/25 :)

So 4/25 is your answer
