Answer:

The sum must be greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two fractions that are greater than 1/2 let's say

<u>Example 1</u>

3/4 and 7/8, the sum will be

3/4+7/8 with LCM of denominator as 8 sum=\frac {(3*2)+7}{8}=\frac {13}{8}=1\frac {5}{8} which is more than 1

<u>Example 2</u>

6/9 and 5/8 with the LCM of denominator as 72, the sum=\frac {(6*8)+(5*9)}{72}=\frac {93}{72}=1\frac {7}{24} which is greater than 1

<u>Example 3</u>

8/9 and 7/9 with the LCM of denominator as 9, the sum=\frac {8+7}{9}=\frac {15}{9}=1\frac {2}{3} which is greater than 1

Dhanraj spent $204.20 purchasing volleyballs and basketballs.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Number of volleyballs bought = 8

Number of basketballs bought = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount spent = $204.20

Let,

x be the number of volleyballs

y be the number of basketballs

According to given statement;

y = x+3     Eqn 1

8.20x+12.60y=204.20     Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

8.20x + 12.60(x+3) = 204.20

8.20x + 12.60x + 37.80 = 204.20

20.80x = 204.20 - 37.80

20.80x = 166.40

Dividing both sides by 20.80

\frac{20.80x}{20.80}=\frac{166.40}{20.80}\\x=8

Putting x=8 in Eqn 1

y = 8+3 = 11

Hence,

Number of volleyballs bought = 8

Number of basketballs bought = 11

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

7( 8.5-1.5) +8 ÷2

PEMDAS

Parentheses

7*7 +8 ÷2

Then multiplication and division from left to right

49 +8 ÷2

We are still on multiplication and division

49+4

So step 3 is the first mistake
