For this you are adding two fractions together. You always want to make sure they are both improper or normal fractions and that they have a common denominator. To find a common denominator, you look at the denominators and look for a number (The smaller the better) that both can be multiplied by some number to get to. In this case, the common denominator is 10. To make the denominators the same you multiply by one so the value doesn't change. This is done by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number that results in the denominator becoming the common denominator.
2 1/2 = 5/2 × 5/5 = 25/10
2/5 × 2/2 = 4/10

When adding, the denominator remains the same and the numerators are added!
25 + 4 = 29
So the answer is 29/10 or 2 9/10 when converted back into a mixed number.
Hope this helped!

Consider the following table does this represent a function why or why not?
NARA [144]
This doesn't represent an function. Because the output is uneven to the other outputs,
1=4, 2=7 if you divided 2 into 2 parts it would equal 1=3.5 not 4.

A rectangle has a length that is three times the width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 feet.what is the area of the recta
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The area is 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are going to need two different equations-

l = w(3)

2l + 2w = 40

Insert the first equation into the second-

2(3w) + 2w = 40

Simplify this equation-

6w + 2w = 40

8w = 40

Divide both sides by 5

w = 5

Solve first equation

l = 5(3)

l = 15

Then find the area-

5 x 15 = 75

tester [92]

Answer:

<u>The rate the swimming pool is filled is 9 gallons of water per minute</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's review the information provided by Ronald to us to help him to find the answer to the question:

Time it takes to fill the swimming pool = 8 minutes

Amount of water the swimming pool can hold = 72 gallons

2. At what rate does the swimming pool fill, in gallons per minute?

Rate the swimming pool is filled = Amount of water the swimming pool can hold /Time it takes to fill the swimming pool

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Rate the swimming pool is filled = 72/8 = 9 gallons of water per minute
