Hello there!

Here, you simply need to make sure both fractions have common denominators!

Denominator = bottom number

10 and 2 are denominators!

So, let's look at them. 10 is not the same as 2.

The ONLY way to make them the same is multiplication.

So, since 10 is the bigger number, we'll leave it alone. Let's look at 2.

Can 2 become 10? Yes! How? Multiply 2 by 5!

2 x 5 = 10

Now let's look at the fraction!

1/2 --> ?/10

If we multiplied 2 by 5, then we also have to multiply 1 by 5!

1/2 --> 5/10

So now you've got:

7/10 + 5/10

Add the numerators (top numbers) together.

7+5 = 12

When adding/subtracting, the denominators always stay the same!

12/10 = your (unsimplified) answer.

Now we have to simplify it. How? Divide the top and bottom by 2!

12/2 = 6
10/2 = 5

So your simplified answer would be 6/5 !

Hope this helped!

The value of y varies directly with x. Which function represents the relationship between x and y if y = 20/3 ?
geniusboy [140]
What does x equal? In order to find the relationship between x and y we need to know both values at a given instance. For example, if x = 10 while y = 20/3, then we know that you = 20x/30 or 2x/3.

0.000309 in scientific notation
trasher [3.6K]
Hey there :)

Writing in scientific notation means a should be
0 ≤ a < 10

Therefore, 0.000309 will be written as
3.09 x 10ⁿ

3 is the 4th decimal place value

so n = - 4

3.04 x 10⁻⁴
