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!

Show that 4x - x? – 7 is always<br> negative.<br><br><br><br><br> Help
Verizon [17]

                                          <em>Question No 7</em>

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that 4x - x² - 7 is always negative.

Given

4x - x² - 7

4x - x² - 7 is always negative because:

  • -x²-7 will alwas be negative for all the values of x,
  • The value of  - x² - 7 will always be less than 4x for all the values of x

Hence, 4x - x² - 7 is always negative

For example,

let suppose we enter x = 1

4(1)-1^{2} -7\\=4-1-7\\=4-8\\=-4

let suppose we enter x = -1

4(-1)-(-1)^{2} - 7\\= -4 - 1 - 7\\= -12

Help me i got 10 math question plz help 1st one
NISA [10]
1. a 

2. 6 tps baking powder. For every 3, there is two. 3 multiplied by 2 is 6.

3. 12/8 = 1.5 seedling per minute in 70 minutes...
1.5 * 70 = 105 seedlings can be planted in 70 minutes

4. idk sorry

5. time = distance / speed
time = 300/15
time = 20 hrs


7. The ratio between 12 and 8 is 1.5, so you need to divide every other number by 1.5.
2/1.5=1.3

9/1.5=6

18/1.5=12

8. So, problem statement tells you that 1lb = 16oz and that 1oz = 28.3g. That means that 1lb = 16 * 28.3g = 452.8g

You have three items, convert their weights to grams:
1) 800g
2) 1.6lb = 1.6 * 452.8g = 724.48g
3) 30oz = 30 * 28.3g = 849g

So, sorting from greatest:
3, 2, 1, or: 30oz, 1.6lb, 800g.

9. 5•7=30

10.it will clean 7 cars in 56 minutes
hope this helps and i hope its not confusing
