1. You need to change these so that they share a common denominator (bottom of the fraction)
2. Common denominator is 10 of these 2 fractions.
3. We don't need to change the 7/10 fraction because the denominator is already 10.
4. To make 1/2 have a denominator of 10, we need to times the top and bottom by the same number. To get 10 from 2, we have to times it by 5. Therefore, to change the top, we need to times it also by 5
5. 1 x 5 = 5
6. Add the two fractions together: 5/10 + 7/10 = 12/10
7. Simplify the expression. This is currently a top heavy fraction aka. improper fraction. To make it 'proper' we need to change it into a mixed number. To do this, we see how many of the bottom number goes into the top. In this case it is 1 with 2 left over. So the final fraction is...

1 2/10

Chase has 3 gallons of a solution that is 30% antifeeze that he wants to use to winterize his car. How much pure antifreeze shou

makvit [3.9K]

Let x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.

There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then

3 gallons - 100%,

a gallons - 30%,

where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{3}{a}=\dfrac{100}{30},\\ \\a=\dfrac{3\cdot 30}{100}=0.9\ gallons.$

Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.

x+3 gallons - 100%,

x+0.9 - 65%

$\dfrac{x+3}{x+0.9}=\dfrac{100}{65},\\ \\65(x+3)=100(x+0.9),\\ \\65x+195=100x+90,\\ \\35x=105,\\ \\x=3\ gallons.$

Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.

The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

GalinKa [24]

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and <span>(0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "</span><span>P is the length of the line segment from D". Were you given a length P to help you determine which point. Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given. The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points.
I hope this helps!</span>
