I want to know the simple way to add fractions like I have a problem with getting the answer to 1/6+1/8=

You find the lowest common denominator of both fractions, which in this case is 24.
1/6 is equivalent to 4/24 and 1/8 is equivalent to 3/24. 
4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24

Since the denominators aren't the same, you need to find the LCM. So the lowest Common denominator. Similar to finding factors. You need to find a number that will go into both the denominators, which in your case, is 6 and 8. The lowest would be 24. Both 6 and 8 can go into 24, right? 6 * 4 = 24 AND 8 * 3 = 24? 
Ill show you ONE way of displaying your work, this should be an easier way.

1/6 + 1/8
LCM = 24
24(1/4) + 24(1/8) 
To work this out, you need to multiply the 24 to the numerator, which is 1. Then multiply the resultant to the denominator which is 4. So you'll get 6. Do the same method with the other fraction.
Working
(24*1)/4 = 6   [1]
(24*1)/8 = 3   [2]
Then add the two together.
6 + 3 = 9/24      [the LCM will be in your final answer]
From here you have to see if you can simplify this any further. In your case, You cant, so this will be your answer. 
Also, make sure you look up the exponent laws and multiplication rules, this should help you a lot :) 

I really do hope you followed through.

In triangle opq right angled at p op=7cm,oq-pq=1 determine the values of sinq and cosq
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let pq = x

given oq - pq = 1 then oq = 1 + x

Using Pythagoras' identity, then

(oq)² = 7² + x²

(1 + x)² = 49 + x² ( expand left side )

1 + 2x + x² = 49 + x² ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x + x² = 48 + x² ( subtract x² from both sides )

2x = 48 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 24 ⇒ pq = 24

and oq = 1 + x = 1 + 24 = 25 ← hypotenuse

sinq = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{7}{25}

cosq = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{24}{25}

If the simple interest on $6,000 for 4 years is $1,920, then what is the interest rate?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

8 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for interest rate is the original money, the amount of years, and the inetrest rate multiplied together, we could plug it into an equation. 6000 times 4 times the ineterest rate is equal to 1920. 6000 times 4 is 24000. 1920 divided by 24000 is equal to 0.08 or 8 percent.
