Notice how 1/2 and 3/8 are positive numbers. We add two positive numbers meaning that the result should be larger. However 2/5 = 0.4 is not larger than 1/2 = 0.5

So something went wrong with the adding. It turns out that the error is when the person added the numbers in the denominators (2 and 8 to get 10). This is not allowed. The denominators must be the same and stay the same in order for the fractions to be added.

For example: 1/7 + 2/7 = (1+2)/7 = 3/7
The 7s in the denominator do not change

Therefore the answer is choice B) Not true because 2/5 < 1/2

If a celebrity charges $0.125 million for a 5 second commercial, how much will he be paid for a 45-second appearance?
Nitella [24]
I got a. I multiplied 0.125 by 45 and got 5.625. I then divided 5.625 by five an got 1.125. I'm not really sure about my answer, so I did it another way. I divided .125 by five and got .025 so I multiplied that by 45 and got 1.125. I multiplied 1.125 by 1000 and got A.

Can you help me on this?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratio's to solve this

40        20

-----  = -----------

100       20 + y


Using cross products

40 * (20+y) = 20*100

Distribute

800 + 40y = 2000

Subtract 800 from each side

40y = 2000-800

40y = 1200

Divide by 40

y = 1200/40

y =30
