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!

Mr. Mole left his burrow and started digging his way down at a constant rate. Time (minutes) Altitude (meters) 666 -20.4−20.4min

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$-6$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given Mr. Mole left his burrow and started digging his way down at a constant rate.

We are also given a table of data as:

Time (minutes) Altitude (meters)

6 -20.4

9 -27.6

12 -34.8

First of all, we will find Mr. Mole's digging rate using slope formula and given information as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , where,

$y_2-y_1$ represents difference of two y-coordinates,

$x_2-x_1$ represents difference of two corresponding x-coordinates of y-coordinates.

Let $(6,-20.4)$ be $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(9,-27.6)$ be $(x_2,y_2)$ .

$m=\frac{-27.6-(-20.4)}{9-6}$

$m=\frac{-27.6+20.4}{3}$

$m=\frac{-7.2}{3}$

$m=-2.4$

Now, we will use slope-intercept form of equation to find altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow.

$y=mx+b$ , where,

m = Slope,

b = The initial value or the y-intercept.

Upon substituting $m=-2.4$ and coordinates of point $(6,-20.4)$ , we will get:

$-20.4=-2.4(6)+b$

$-20.4=-14.4+b$

$-20.4+14.4=-14.4+14.4+b$

$-6=b$

Since in our given case y-intercept represents the altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow, therefore, the altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow is $-6$ meters.
