Step-by-step explanation:

(a/b) + (c/d)

Find the common denominator. In this case, bd. So multiply the first fraction by d/d, and the second fraction by b/b.

(ad)/(bd) + (bc)/(bd)

Add the fractions.

(ad + bc) / (bd)

Why it does not matter which two points you pick when you calculate the slope?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Because when you are finding slope the line must be linear and because it is linear it doesnt matter which point you get because you get the same answer (you can try it yourself)

Hector is dividing students into groups for an HR wants to divide the boys and girls so that each group has the same number of t

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

7 groups, 3 boys and 8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of groups be $x$

and total hikers in one group be $y$

if number of girls and boys in every group is same, then

$\frac{21}{x} + \frac{56}{x} = y$

$\frac{21 + 56}{x} = y\\x*y = 77$ ....(1)

from (1) $x$ will either be 11 or 7

for $x = 11$ the values won't be real.

For $x = 7\\y = \frac{77}{7} \\y = 11$

so there will be 7 groups with 11 hikers in each groups and every group will have $\frac{21}{7} = 3$ boys and $\frac{56}{7} = 8$ girls

1. How can you find the decimal forms of 3/12 and 2/9?

Helga [31]

Answer:

1. 0.472

2. 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1. reduce the fraction with 3 = 1\4 + 2\9

write all numerators above the Least common denominator 36 =9 + 8\36

Add numbers = 17\36 and the alternate form is 0.472

2. Divide the numerator and denominator by three = 3 ÷ 3\12 ÷ 3 = 0.25

I can't do the others now I have an exam(sorry)

Owen received $100 for his birthday. He wants to spend 2/10 of his money on a video game. He wants to spend 55/100 of his money

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

No, Owen wants to spend 105/100 of his money.

Step-by-step explanation:

HE wants to spend 2/10, 3/10, and 55/100 or 5.5/10, but if we add up all of the numbers we would get 10.5/10 meaning he would he 5 dollars short.
