Total bill is calculated as
$x = 208 + ( \frac{208}{2} \times 0.0425) \\ x= 208 + (104 \times 0.0425) \\ x = 212.42$

What is the simplified form of the quantity 1 over b minus 1 over a all over the quantity 1 over b plus 1 over a?

jolli1 [7]

Option B: (b-a)/(b+a) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is;

$\frac{\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{a}}{\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{a}}$

First of all we have to take LCM in both numerator and denominator

So,

$=\frac{\frac{b-a}{ab}}{\frac{b+a}{ab}}$

The reciprocal of the denominator will be multiplied with the numerator for simplification

So,

$=\frac{b-a}{ab} * \frac{ab}{b+a}\\= \frac{b-a}{b+a}$

Hence,

Option B: (b-a)/(b+a) is the correct answer

William fills 1/3 of a water bottle in 5/9 of a minute. How many can be filled in a minute

Snezhnost [94]

For this case we can propose a rule of three:

$\frac {1} {3}$ bottle ------------> $\frac {5} {9}$ minutes

x --------------------------------------> 1 minute

Where the variable "x" represents the number of bottles that can be filled in 1 minute.

$x = \frac {1 * \frac {1} {3}} {\frac {5} {9}}\\x = \frac {\frac {1} {3}} {\frac {5} {9}}\\x = \frac {9 * 1} {3 * 5}\\x = \frac {9} {15}\\x = \frac {3} {5}$

Thus, William can fill $\frac {3} {5}$ of a water bottle in 1 minute.

Answer:

William can fill $\frac {3} {5}$ of a water bottle in 1 minute.
