What’s 1 2/6 + 3 4/8. Help

Answer:

4 \frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 1 \frac{2}{6} as \frac{8}{6} and we can write 3 \frac{4}{8} as \frac{28}{8}. So the question becomes \frac{8}{6} + \frac{28}{8}. We can simplify both fractions so that the expression is \frac{4}{3} + \frac{7}{2} and to add the two fractions we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, so we want the denominator to be 6 in both fractions. To do this, we multiply \frac{4}{3} by \frac{2}{2} and we multiply \frac{7}{2} by \frac{3}{3}.

So finally we get \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{2}{2} + \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{3}{3}, which is \frac{8}{6} + \frac{21}{6}, which is \frac{29}{6}.

And now all we have to do is rewrite the improper fraction \frac{29}{6}. Notice 6 goes into 29 exactly 4 times, with a remainder of 5. So the expression simplifies to 4 \frac{5}{6}

Solve the system of equations by substitution.<br> 3/8x +1/3y=17/24<br> x+7y=8
const2013 [10]

Answer:

x=1, y=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the second equation:

x = 8 - 7y, so substituting for x in the first equation:

3/8(8 - 7y) + 1/3y = 17/24

3 - 21/8 y + 1/3y = 17/24

1/3y - 21/8y = 17/24 - 3

Multiply through by 24:

8y - 21*3 y = 17 - 72

8y - 63y = -55

-55y = -55

y = 1.

And  substituting for y in the second equation:

x + 7(1) = 8

x = 8 - 7

x =  1.

If y = kx, what is the value of x if y = 0.33 and k = 1/4?
ololo11 [35]
Easy

plug them in
0.33=1/4(x)
times both sides by 4/1 (4/1 times 1/4=4/4=1)
0.33*4/1=4/4x
1.32=1x
1.32=x
x=1.32

You can see that the two angles (38° and 7) form a line or 180°. So, angle 7 and 38° must add to 180°. So, angle 7 is:
180-38 = 142

Your answer is 142°.
