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

How do the symptoms of depression compare to those of attempted suicide?

mestny [16]

The symptoms of depression and suicide are very similar, because most of the people that are depressed sometimes think about doing something to harm themselves. Plus depression causes them to stop eating, starts to be non social etc. The same goes for those who are having thoughts of suicide or have already done it.

Jenna can clean the gutters at her house in four hours. Her older brother, John, can clean the gutters in three hours, if they w

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

1 hour and 42.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question let's call $t_1$ while it takes Jenna to clean the gutters

Let's call $t_2$ while it takes John to clean the gutters

$t_1 = 4$ h

$t_2 = 3$ h

t = total time

g = job = 1 (clean the gutters)

The speed of each one is:

$V_1 = \frac{1}{4}$ g/ h

$V_2 = \frac{1}{3}$ g/h

$V = V_1 + V_2 = \frac{g}{t} = \frac{1}{t}$

So:

$V = V_1 + V_2 = \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{t} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3}= \frac{7}{12} g/h$

$t = \frac{12}{7}$ h

Then, both together paint $\frac{7}{12}$ of gutters for each hour.

This means that it takes $\frac{12}{7}$ hours to clean the gutters together

Finally cleaning together takes 1,714 hours or also

1 hour and 42.8 minutes

Using the numbers 0-6 once, make 2 equivalent ratios

fenix001 [56]

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to use the number 0-6 once to make 2 equivalent ratios.

so lets solve the problem.

Determining first equivalent ratio

5 times 2 = 10

and

32 times 2 = 64

Together will get 10/64

Therefore, first equivalent ratio

$\:\frac{5}{32}=\frac{10}{64}$

Determining second equivalent ratio

$\frac{13}{65}=\frac{4}{20}$

$\frac{13}{65}=\frac{1}{5}$

and

$\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, second equivalent ratio

$\frac{13}{65}=\frac{4}{20}$

Write an expression that represents the sum of B and 5 x 2

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Since sum indicates addition, you want to add the two terms together.
B + (5x2)
If the answer needs to be simplified, you can do the multiplication to get:
B + 10
