Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Since both fractions have common denominators, you can just add the numerators:

3/8+1/8 = 4/8

Step 2: You can simplify 4/8 into 1/2 because 4 is half of 8, so 4/8 is equivalent to 1/2.

The answer is C. 1/2 inch.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

We set up 2 equations

A) C + A = 100

B) 5C + 12A = 780

We multiply A by -5

A) -5C -5A = -500 then we add B

B) 5C + 12A = 780

7A = 280

Number of Adults = 40

5C = 780 - 40*12

5C = 780 -480

5C = 300

Number of Children = 60

ikadub [295]

Answer: The minimum reliability for the second stage be 0.979.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability for the overall rocket reliable for a successful mission = 97%

Probability for the first stage = 99%

We need to find the minimum reliability for the second stage :

So, it becomes:

P(overall reliability) = P(first stage ) × P(second stage)

$0.97=0.99\times x\\\\\dfrac{0.97}{0.99}=x\\\\0.979=x$

Hence, the minimum reliability for the second stage be 0.979.
