You convert 3/4 into 8ths and that would be 6/8. so you do 1/8+5/8=6/8 so 5/8 is your answers.
Answer:
x = 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, intercepts made by parallel lines on the transversals are in proportion.
AB = BC.... (given)
From equations (1) & (2)
Therefore,
7x - 9 = 2x + 7
7x - 2x = 9 + 7
5x = 16
x = 16/5
x = 3.2
Answer: 3/20 of the class
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the amount of students that play soccer to amount of students that play volleyball
1/4 + 3/5 = 17/20
Subtract 17/20 (soccer and volley ball) from 20/20 or 1
20/20 - 17/20 = 3/20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.
