together = add
add the fractions
3 7/10 + 5 9/10
add the whole numbers first
3+5=8
add the fractions
7/10+9/10= 16/10
8 16/10
reduce 16/10 divide by 2
16/2= 8
10/2= 5
8 8/5
whole number changes to 9
8-5=3
denominator stays the same
9 3/5
Answer:
9 3/5
Answer:
C. 2.0 < t < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
The circumference of the lake is given by ...
C = πd = 2π miles ≈ 6.28 miles
Then Johanna's time is ...
(6.28 mi)/(3 mi/h) ≈ 2.09 h
This time is in the interval (2, 2.5), so matches choice C.
___
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If we take pi to be 3, then this boils down to ...
2×3/3 = 2 . . . hours
Pi is on the order of 5% more than 3, so her time will be on the order of 5% more than 2 hours, or just above 2, but not as great as 2.5 hours. This sort of estimating can get you to the correct answer without a calculator.
I believe the answer is feet
3x^2 - 8x + 5
3x^2 - 3x - 5x + 5
3x(x - 1) - 5(x - 1)
(x - 1)(3x - 5)
The answer is: (x - 1)(3x - 5).
