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!

The level of a lake was 8 inches below normal. It decreased 1

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$-9\dfrac{5}{8}$ inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The level of a lake was 8 inches below normal.

Now, it is given that the water level decreases $1\dfrac{1}{4} = 1.25$ inches in June and $2\dfrac{3}{8} =2.375$ inches more in July.

Therefore, the new level of water with respect to the normal level will be

= - 8 - 1.25 - 2.375

= - 9.625 inches

= $-9\dfrac{5}{8}$ inches. (Answer)

Game 1, 2, 3 Yard 157, 309, 172.

Bas_tet [7]

Part A. How many total yards did Ed run in the first 3 football games.
total yards Ed = 157 + 309 + 172 = 638

Part B. How many more total running yards did Rico have than Ed after the first 3 games of the season?
total yards Rico = 3*total yards Ed = 3*638 = 1914
so Rico has more yards than Ed, 1914 - 638 = 1276, that is, Rico has 1276 more yards than Ed after the 3 first games

Do 0.3 and 3.0 have the same value. Explain. Explain=10 points

just olya [345]

No, 0.3 and 3.0 do not have the same value. The zero in front the decimal point, means that the next digit has a value less than one. The first decimal position is greater than the second decimal position, and it is greater than the fhird decimal positio, and so on; 0.3 is 3/10. The digit 3 in 3.0 has value of 3 units which is greater than 3/10.
