They caught: 11/12 pounds of fish
First you need to change them to a same common denominator. Since 3 and 6 already go into 12, you just have to change 1/3 and 1/6 to a denominator with 12.
First you need to change 1/3 to 4/12. By doing that, you do: 1/3x4/4=4/12.
You then have to change 1/6 to 2/12. By doing that, you do: 1/6x2/2=2/12.
Then you just add up all the fractions and simplify: 4/12+2/12+5/12=11/12.
You can't simplify 11/12 any further so you're answer would be:
They caught 11/12 pounds of fish in total.
Hope this helps! :D

Ok so since the largest denominator is 12 we want to get the other denominators the same so it is easier to add together. Multiply 3 by 4 to get a denominator, then multiply 1 by 4 and you'll get 4/12. Then multiply 6 by 2 and then 1 by 2 and you'll get 2/12. Add all 3 of the fractions to get 11/12 pounds of fish. Hope this helps!

the function f is defined by f(x)=150/x-z where z is a constant. find z if the value of f at x=1/5 is equal to 250
malfutka [58]

Answer:

x = -1 \frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(\frac{1}{5}) = 120, therefore we can create this equation:

120 = 150 ÷ (\frac{1}{5} - z)

cross-multiply to get: 24 - 120z = 150

-120z = 126

z = -1 \frac{3}{60}
