So when you have problems like this where there are two different fractions that dont directly go together, you find the common denominator or number on the bottom. So for these numbers it would be 16. 
You would multiply 8 by 2, and 4 by 4. Now that the denominators are the same, you would also multiply the numerator by the same amount as it's denominator. 
So now they would look like " 2 10/16 yards and 1 12/16. You now add these together to get:

4 6/16 yards. But you can't use this as an answer because it's not simplified, so you would try to get these fraction as low as possible, which in this case would look like 3/8

So the final answer would be 4 and 3/8 yards. I hope this helps :)

Calculate the area of the composite figure.<br> 9 in<br> 5 in<br> 18 in<br> 5 in<br> 17 in
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Let's split the figure first:

9 x 5 = 45(area of small rectangle on top)

18 - 5 = 14(height)

17 - 9 = 8(width)

14 x 8 = 112(area of rectangle in the middle nearly)

18 - 5 = 14(base)

5(base 1) + 14(base 2) = 19

17 - 9 = 8(height)

19 x 8 = 152

152 divided by 2( x 1/2) = 76(area of a trapezoid on the side)

Now let's add all the given areas:

45 + 112 + 76 = 233 in^2 is your answer.

A truck uses 1 tablespoon of gasoline to drive 125 yards. How many miles can the vehicle travel per gallon?
Alborosie

Answer:

18.18 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A truck uses 1 tablespoon of gasoline to drive 125 yards.

Now, 1 gallon of gasoline contains 256 tablespoons of gasoline.

So, the truck uses 1 gallon i.e. 256 tablespoons of gasoline to drive (256 × 125) = 32000 yards.

Now, 1-mile distance contains 1760 yards.

Therefore, the truck uses 1 gallon of gasoline to drive \frac{32000}{1760} = 18.18 miles. (Answer)
