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!

A construction crew has just finished building a road. The crew worked for 8 days. If they built 2 1/6 kilometers of road each d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

13km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Time= 8 days

Speed= 2 1/6 kilometers per day = 13/6 kilometers per day

Distance= ??

We know that

Speed= distance/time

therefore, Distance= speed*time

substitute

Distance= 13/6*8

Distance= 104/8

Distance= 13 km

Hence the crew did 13km

If the Zeros are 2 and 8 what's the axis of symmetry?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=2,x-2=0

x=8

x-8=0

y=(x-2)(x-8)=x²-2x-8x+16=x²-10x+16

=x²-10x+25-25+16

=x²-10x+25-9

y=(x-5)²+9

axis of symmetry is x-5=0 or x=5

Find the values of x and y if 5 ˣ⁻³ x 3²ʸ⁻⁸ =225
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

x = 5, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

{5}^{x - 3}  \times  {3}^{2y - 8}  = 225 \\ {5}^{x - 3}  \times  {3}^{2y - 8}  = 25 \times 9 \\  {5}^{x - 3}  \times  {3}^{2y - 8}  =  {5}^{2} \times  {3}^{2}  \\ equating \: like \: power \: terms \: from \: both \:\\ sides \\ {5}^{x - 3}  =  {5}^{2} \\ x - 3 = 2 (Bases\: are\: equal, \: so\: exponents \: \\will\: also\: be\: equal) \\ x = 3 + 2 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 5}} \\  \\ {3}^{2y - 8}  = {3}^{2} \\ 2y - 8 = 2(Bases\: are\: equal, \: so\: exponents \: \\will\: also\: be\: equal)  \\ 2y = 2 + 8 \\ 2y = 10 \\ y =  \frac{10}{2}  \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{y = 5}}
