Answer:  C. 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The fraction of stores inventory is children's clothing=\dfrac{1}{3}

The fraction of stores inventory is women's clothing=\dfrac{2}{5}

Since both events are independent.

Therefore, the fraction of the total inventory is children's or women's clothing =  (Fraction of stores inventory is children's clothing ) + (Fraction of stores inventory is women's clothing )

=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5+2(3)}{15}

=\dfrac{11}{15}

∴ The fraction of the total inventory is children's or women's clothing =\dfrac{11}{15}

Hence, the correct answer is C. 11/15 .

Answer:

-6x+12

-9+5a

7x+63

8y-4/5x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these all you have to do is take the number outside of the parenthesis and multiply them by each term.

-3(2x)-3(-4) All I did here was expand the problem to show what i mean by terms.

-6x+12

Do this for each problem.

0.1(-90)+0.1(50a)

-9+5a

-7(-x)-7(-9) For this one you are taking negatives times negatives so each answer will be positive.

7x+63

4/5(10y)+4/5(-x)+4/5(-15)

8y-4/5x-12

1/5+1/7+3/21 the answer is
inessss [21]

Answer:

<h2>17/35</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get all the fractions with a common denominator before we can solve the problem.

The only fractions that have a common multiple are 1/7 and 3/21, so we'll add these first and then add 1/5.

1/7 = 3/21

Add

\frac{3}{21} + \frac{3}{21} =\frac{6}{21}

6/21 = 30/105

1/5 = 21/105

\frac{30}{105} + \frac{21}{105} = \frac{51}{105}

Simplify

\frac{51}{105} / \frac{3}{3} =\frac{17}{35}

<h3>ANSWER: 17/35</h3>

I'm always happy to help :)

In which place is the digit in the number 5,341 that would be changed to form 5,841? How do the values of the two numbers compar
Colt1911 [192]
We want to change the digit in the number 5,341 into 5,841, and to find the difference between the numbers.

Refer to the figure shown below.
The number 3 is in the 3rd place (hundreds) of the number 5,341 as a digit.
It is replaced by 8  to form the number 5,841.

This means that 300 is replaced by 800 because, in the third place, we count by hundreds in the 3rd place.
The difference between 800 and 300 is 500.

Subtraction of 5,341 from 5,841 also yields 500.

Answer:
The digit is in the 3rd place (hundreds).
The difference between the numbers is 500.
