1) \frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{19}{24}

2) \frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{29}{24}

3) \frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{24}

4) \frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{25}{24}

5) \frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{24}

6) \frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{25}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the sum of two fractions, we first have to find the lowest common denominator of the two fractions, then multiply the numerator of each fraction by the ratio between the lowest common denominator and the original denominator, and then add/subtract the two new numerators.

1)

\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=

Here the lowest common denominator between 6 and 8 is 24,

So we have to rewrite each fraction as having denominator 24: this means that we have to multiply both numerator and denominator of the 1st fraction by 4 (because 24/6=4), and both numerator and denominator of the 2nd fraction by 3 (because 24/8=3).

So the new numerators of the two fractions are:

4\cdot 4 = 16\\1\cdot 3 = 3

The expression then becomes:

\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{3}{24}=\frac{16+3}{24}=\frac{19}{24}

2)

\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=

Here the lowest common denominator between 6 and 8 is again 24,

so we have again to multiply both numerator and denominator of the 1st fraction by 4, and both numerator and denominator of the 2nd fraction by 3.  

So the new numerators of the two fractions are:

2\cdot 4 = 8\\7\cdot 3 = 21

And we get:

\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{8+21}{24}=\frac{29}{24}

3)

\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}

The denominators are the same, so the lowest common denominator is always 24. So we can adopt the same procedure, and new numerators are:

5\cdot 4 = 20\\3\cdot 3 = 9

And so:

\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}=\frac{20-9}{24}=\frac{11}{24}

4)

\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=

Using the same lowest common denominator, 24, the new numerators are:

4\cdot 4 = 16\\3\cdot 3 = 9

And so we can rewrite the expression as

\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{9}{24}=\frac{16+9}{24}=\frac{25}{24}

5)

\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=

Again, the lowest common denominator is 24. This time the denominator of the 1st fraction is 8 while the denominator of the 2nd fraction is 6, so we have to multiply the numerator of the 1st fraction by 3 and the numerator of the 2nd fraction by 4.

We get:

7\cdot 3 = 21\\5\cdot 4 = 20

So the expression will be rewritten as:

\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{21}{24}-\frac{20}{24}=\frac{21-20}{24}=\frac{1}{24}

6)

\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=

Here the situation is similar to the first 4 exercises: using 24 as lowest common denominator, the numerators become

1\cdot 4 = 4\\7\cdot 3 = 21

So the expression becomes

\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{4}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{4+21}{24}=\frac{25}{24}

What is the length of a side of the pentagon?
sineoko [7]
The length of a side of a pentagon is 69 units.

Since the hexagon on the left has 6 sides, and all of the sides have an equal length, if you multiply the number of sides(6) by the length of one side (3x+5) you will get the perimeter of the hexagon, 6(3x+5)
This is the same for the pentagon as well, since the pentagon on the right has 5 sides, and all of the sides have an equal length, if you multiply the number of sides(5) by the length of one side (4x-1) you will get the perimeter of the pentagon, 5(4x-1)

Now we have the equation for the perimeter of the hexagon, 6(3x+5), and the pentagon 5(4x-1). Since we know that the perimeters are the same length for each shape, we can set these two formulas equal to each other

Here is how I set up my equation
6(3x+5)=5(4x-1)

Now that you have the equation, you must solve for x, which I will demonstrate the steps down below

6(3x+5)=5(4x-1)
18x+30=20x-5 (subtract 18x on both sides)
30=2x-5 (subtract -5 on both sides)
35=2x (divide 2 on each side)
17.5=x

Now that you have determined that x is 17.5, all that is left to do is plug in 17.5 into the equation that solves for one side of the pentagon(4x-1) to get the length of a side of a pentagon, which is your answer.

Here is the work if needed
4(17.5)-1
70-1
69

The length of a side of a pentagon is 69 units.

I hope this helped!
