Answer:

27 13/60

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have tried to do is not an impossible way to do it. What you could do is set your fractions and whole numbers like this.

( 7 + 1/10) * (3 + 5/6) I don't know if you know what FOIL is, but that is the way to proceed.

First: (meaning the first in each factor ). 3 * 7 = 21
Outside: (meaning the two terms near outside the brackets) 7 * 5/6 = 5 5/6
Inside: The two terms closest to the * sign 1 / 10 *3 = 3/10
Last: The two end terms (1/10 * 5/6 = 5/60 5/60

Now you can add. 21 + 5 is the whole number amount = 26

Add the fractions

5/6 + 3/10 + 5/60 The lowest common multiple is 60
50/60 + 18/60 +5/60 = 73 / 60 = 1 and 13/60

Add that to 26 and you get 27 13/60

Alonzo is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved $30 , which is two-thirds of the total cost of the game. How much does

Andrei [34K]

Well, it should be 45 because 1/3 of the game would be 15 and 15+15 is 30 (2/3rds cost), so 15+15+15, 45, would be the full cost of the game

Find the four rational numbers and irrational numbers between 2/5 and 5/6

Savatey [412]

The four?

Of course there are an infinite number of rationals between any two different real numbers, as well as an even bigger infinite number of irrationals.

The average will be between the numbers:

$\frac 1 2 (\frac 2 5 + \frac 5 6) = \dfrac{37}{60}$

That's a lot of work to get a number in between. We can just see

$\frac 1 2$
is between the two numbers.

The mediant, or freshman addition, will always be in between:

$\dfrac{2 + 5}{5 + 6} = \dfrac{7}{11}$

2/5=.4 and 5/6 is about .83, so

$.6 = \frac{6}{10}$

is in between as is .7, .41, .530940394 and as many rationals as we care to generate.

To get irrationals we could just add a teeny irrational to the ones we just generated, like $\frac{6}{10} + \frac{\pi}{100}$

We could just change that denominator a bit and get as many as we like.

But let's get some square roots. The geometric mean will be between

$\sqrt{ \dfrac 2 5 \cdot \dfrac 5 6 } = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
$

That's the tangent from one of trig's biggest cliches, but I digress. It's in between.

While we're on trig cliches,

$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

is in between as well.

Keeping with the trig theme, also in between are

$\dfrac{\pi} 6$

and

$\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

the angles associated with the some of the above trig function values.

We could obviously go on as long as we cared to.
