Mathematics

Step One: Since when you add and subtract fractions they need to have the same denominator. So you find the least common denominator. Which is 6.

Step Two:So, now you have your least common denominator. Now you multiply 1/2 * 6. Remember whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top. So you multiply 2 and 6, then multiply 1 and 6. Which will leave you with 6/12.

Step Three:Now you add the numerator. Remember you the denominator ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME. The Denominator always stays the same when you add and subtract fractions. So, 9/12 + 6/12 = 15/12. 

Step Four:Now you simplify. So you divide 15 / 12=  1 with the remainder of 3. Like I said before the denominator ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME. So you now have 1 3/12. We can still simplify that number.  So we divide by the least common denominator which is 3. Remember whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top. The whole number stays the same as well. So divide    1 3/12 / 3 = 1 1/4. So, the answer is 1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(8,2) and (-4, 5)

Slope = (5 - 2)/(-4 - 8)

The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish. 60 percent of the fish are yellow. How many green fish are in the aquarium?
cupoosta [38]

The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish.

60% of the fish are yellow.

To find:

How many green fish are in the aquarium?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of fish in the aquarium.

60% of the fish are yellow.

So there are 60x/100 = 3x/5 yellow fish.

Then (100 - 60)% = 40% fish are green.

So there are 40x/100 = 2x/5 green fish.

Given that, there are 3 more yellow fish than green fish

⇒ 3x/5 = 2x/5 + 3

⇒ 3x/5 = (2x + 15)/5

⇒ 3x = 2x + 15

⇒ 3x - 2x = 15

⇒ x = 15

Now, 2x/5 = 2/5 × 15 = 2 × 4 = 6

Answer:

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.
