Adding: When adding fractions, you want to make sure that the denominator is the same for both fractions. If they are already the same, just add both the numerators to get the answer. For example,
\frac{3 }{5}  +  \frac{1}{5}  =  \frac{4}{5}
If the denominator is different in both fractions, you have to find the least common denominator, or LCD. The LCD is the smallest number that both denominators can multiply into. For example, say you need to find
\frac{1}{6}  +  \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of (1/3) by 2 to get (2/6). This way, the denominators are the same and you can find the answer.
\frac{1}{6}  +  \frac{2}{6}  =  \frac{3}{6}
In the case that one denominator does not go into the other, find the smallest number they both multiply into. For example,
\frac{1}{3 }  +  \frac{1}{4}
Here, the smallest number that both 4 and 3 multiply into is 12. Multiply both fractions by the correct amount to make both denominators 12. It would then become
\frac{4}{12}  +  \frac{3}{12}  =  \frac{7}{12}
Subtraction: follow the same rules as addition, except subtract the numerators instead of adding them.

Multiplication: multiply both numerators and both denominators.
\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{4}{5}  =  \frac{8}{15}
Division: Flip one of the fractions and multiply.
\frac{2}{3}   \div   \frac{4}{5}
Becomes
\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{10}{12}  =  \frac{5}{6}
Hope this explains it all. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Write the point from of the equation for a line that passes through (6,—1) with a slope of 2
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

y = 2x-13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x+b

We know a point so we have a y and an x, so we can solve for b

-1 = 2(6) +b

-1 =12+b

Subtract 12 from each side

-1-12 = 12-12+b

-13 =b

Substitute this into y = 2x+b

y = 2x-13

What is the equation for the line with a slope of - 2/3 that passes through (0, -2)
viktelen [127]

Answer:

y= -2/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a point and a slope, we can use the point slope formula

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1})

m is the slope. In this case, m is -2/3

y1 is the y coordinate of the point. In this case, it is -2

x1 is the x coordinate. In this case it is 0.

We can substitute these values into the formula

y- -2= -2/3(x-0)

Distribute -2/3

y+2 = -2/3*x + -2/3*0

y+2= -2/3x+0

Subtract 2 from both sides. We want to get y by itself. This is because we want our line to be in y=mx+b form.

y+2-2= -2/3x+0-2

y= -2/3x -2

Kara ate 2 7/9 of the raisins she packed. Which box shows the decimal equivalent of the amount of raisins she ate? Box A: 2.777
vivado [14]

Answer:  Box A, 2.777

=======================================================

Explanation:

When using a calculator or long division, you should find that

7/9 = 0.7777...

where the 7s go on forever

So we can say that 7/9 = 0.777 approximately. You could argue that the last '7' would round up to an '8' and we could say 7/9 = 0.778; however, I'll stick to the first value so that it matches with the answer.

Since 7/9 = 0.777, this means 2 & 7/9 = 2 + 7/9 = 2 + 0.777 = 2.777 which is box A.
