What expression can be used to add 1/2 plus 5/6

1 answer:

5 0

You can add the two fractions by turning 1/2 and 5/6 to have the same denominator.

Turn 1/2 into a fraction with a denominator of 6.
It would equal 3/6

5/6+ 3/6= 8/6

That simplifies to 1 1/3.

Hope this helps you!

Simplify the expression below. (2n/6n+4)(3n+2/3n-2)

andrezito [222]

Answer:

$\frac{n}{3n-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

$\frac{2n}{(6n+4)} \cdot \frac{3n+2}{3n-2}$

Using the distributive property: $a \cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

$\frac{2n}{2(3n+2)} \cdot \frac{3n+2}{3n-2}$

Simplify:

$\frac{2n}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3n-2}$

Simplify:

$\frac{n}{3n-2}$

Therefore, the simplified given expression is, $\frac{n}{3n-2}$

the following analysis shows how students of various department for 2018/2019 academic session, 10 for economics only, 150 from

Verizon [17]

(i) The number of students who registered for political science is 150

(ii) The number of students who registered for political science and geography but not economics is 50

(iii) The number of students who registered for economics and political science but not geography is 20

The Venn diagram for the question is shown in the attachment below.

E represents Economics

G represents Geography

and P represents Political science

From the question,

10 for economics only, that is, n(E∩G'∩P') = 10

150 from economics and geography, that is n(E∩G) = 150

90 from economics but not political science, that is, n(E∩P') = 90

210 from geography, that is, n(G) = 210

120 from political science and geography, n(P∩G) = 120

180 from economics, that is, n(E) = 180

Total of student registered for courses is 250, that is, n(ξ) = 250

Now from the given information,

n(E∩G∩P') = n(E∩P') - n(E∩G'∩P') = 90 - 10 = 80

n(E∩G∩P) = n(E∩G) - n(E∩G∩P') = 150 - 80 = 70

n(E∩P∩G') = n(E) - [n(E∩G'∩P') + n(E∩G∩P') + n(E∩G∩P)]

= 180 - [10+80+70] = 180 - 160 = 20

n(P∩G∩E') = n(P∩G) - n(E∩G∩P) = 120 - 70 = 50

n(G∩E'∩P') = n(G) - [n(E∩G∩P') + n(E∩G∩P) + n(P∩G∩E')]

= 210 -[80+70+50] = 210 - 200 = 10

All of these are shown in the Venn diagram

(i) To determine the number of students who registered for political science, we will first determine n(P∩G'∩E'), that is, those who registered for political science only.

Let n(P∩G'∩E') = x

Then, using the Venn diagram, we can write that

10 + 80 + 20 + 70 + 10 + 50 + x = n(ξ) = 250

240 + x = 250

x = 250 - 240

x = 10

n(P∩G'∩E') = 10

∴ 10 registered for political science only

Now, number of students who registered for political science n(P) is

n(P) = n(E∩P∩G') + n(E∩G∩P) + n(P∩G∩E') + n(P∩G'∩E')

n(P) = 20 + 70 + 50 + 10

n(P) = 150

∴ 150 students registered for political science

(ii) For the number of students who registered for political science and geography but not economics, that is, n(P∩G∩E')

As determined above and as shown in the Venn diagram,

n(P∩G∩E') = 50

∴ 50 students registered for political science and geography but not economics

(iii) For the number of students who registered for economics and political science but not geography, that is, n(E∩P∩G')

As determine above and as shown in the Venn diagram as well

n(E∩P∩G') = 20

∴ 20 students registered for economics and political science but not geography

Hence,

(i) The number of students who registered for political science is 150

(ii) The number of students who registered for political science and geography but not economics is 50

(iii) The number of students who registered for economics and political science but not geography is 20

You are cutting as many 20 1/2-inch pieces from the board to make

zlopas [31]

Answer: The number of steps you can make is 5 pieces and $\dfrac{35}{41}\ inch$ is left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of pieces from the board to make ladder steps for a tree fort = $20\dfrac{1}{2}\ inch=\dfrac{41}{2}$

Length of board = 120 inch

Number of pieces from the board to make ladder steps for a tree fort is given by

$120\div \dfrac{41}{2}\\\\=120\times \dfrac{2}{41}\\\\=\dfrac{240}{41}\\\\=5\dfrac{35}{41}$

Hence, the number of steps you can make is 5 pieces and $\dfrac{35}{41}\ inch$ is left over.

The population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Ellmore. The combined population of both towns is 9,646 peopl

viktelen [127]

Let's form an equation in the terms of Ellmore. E will be for Ellmore.
E+ 12E=9,646
13E=9,646
Let's divide each side by 13.
9,646÷13
742
So, that means there is a population of 742. Linton is 12 times as much as Ellmore. Let's multiply.
742×12
8,904
There are 8,904 people in Linton.
