Which expressions are equivalent to 3(6+b)-(2b + 1)?

Anna [14]

Answer:

18+3b-2b-1

b+17

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:-\left(a+b\right)=-a-b$

$-\left(2b+1\right)=-2b-1$

$=3\left(6+b\right)-2b-1$

$=18+3b-2b-1$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}$

$=3b-2b+18-1$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:18-1=17$

$=3b-2b+17$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:terms:}\:3b-2b=b$

$=b+17$

Alvin takes pictures with his smartphone. Of the pictures 5/6 are animals. 3/4 of the animals are dogs. What fraction of the pic

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alvin takes pictures with his smartphone.

Of the pictures $\frac{5}{6}$ are animals.

$\frac{3}{4}$ of the animals are dogs.

To find which fraction of all pictures are pictures with dogs, you can simply multiply two fractions:

$\dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{15}{24} =\dfrac{5}{8}$

<u>Another way</u> to solve this question:

Let the number of all pictures be 24 (divisible by both 4 and 6).

Then the number of pictures with animals is

$\dfrac{5}{6} \times 24=5\times 4=20$

and the number of pictures with dogs is

$\dfrac{3}{4} \times 20=3\times 15$

Hence, the fraction of pictures with dogs of all pictures is

$\dfrac{15}{24}=\dfrac{5}{8}$
