12x4=48 so it is over 48. (1x12)+(5x4)=12+20. That is 32. It is 32/48 which simplifies down to 8/12 and then 2/3. Another way to do it is 1/4 is the same as 3/12. 3/12+5/12=8/12 which is the same as 2/3. Hope this helped.

1/4 + 5/12 = 3/12 + 5/12= 8/12 = 2/3

You must get the denominators the same so you multiply both 1 and 4 and you get 3/12. Then you add the two fractions and simplify it into 2/3

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

By adding 1 to the quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Harbormaster needs to arrange tripe for 37 cars

in one go ferry can carry a maximum of 8 cars

trips = 37/8 = 4.625 trips

Since the ferry can't go in decimals so we need one more trip to carry all the cars. Hence the best way to interpret the remainder of 37/8 is by adding 1 to the quotient which will make 5 trips.

F(x)=-x^2-5 find the range

lina2011 [118]

$x = \frac{ - b}{2a} \\ = \frac{0}{2(1)} = 0 \\ f(0) = (0)^{2} - 5 \\ = 0 - 5 = - 5$
The vertex is at (0,-5), therefore the range goes from (-infinity, - 5]
