Answer: 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Change to common denominator of 6.

2 1/3 = 2 2/6. (Multiply fraction by 3/3 to get 2/6)

Now you can add.

2 2/6

+ 1 1/6

—————

3 3/6

3/6 can be simplified to 1/2 by dividing numerator and denominator by 6.

answer = 3 1/2

In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

$\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}$

Where

$\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}$

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}$

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

$\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}$

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}$

solving for y, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}$

thus, YC = 10.

Lisa has 3 quarts of milk. Sanjay has 12 pints of milk. Who has more?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Sanjay, because quarts are twice as big as pints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Milk quantity for Lisa = 3 quarts

Milk quantity for Sanjay = 12 pints

We have to convert both quantities in same unit so that we can compare both quantities.

We know that there are two pints in a quart.

So,

Lisa will have:

3*2 = 6 pints of milk

Hence,

Sanjay, because quarts are twice as big as pints.

Marcy and her sister watched a cartoon movie that was 2 hours and 18 minutes long. after the movie, they played a card game for

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Couple of ways to solve this. Here is one method
Convert all times to minutes and find the total number of minutes they spent on all 3 activities. Then convert to hours and minutes and subtract from the end time of 5;28 to get the start time of all activities which is also the start time of watching the movie (first activity)

So time spent:

Movie: 2 hours 18 minutes = 2 * 60 + 18 = 120 + 18 = 138 minutes
Card game: 34 minutes
Soccer: 1 hour 12 minutes = 1 * 60 + 12 = 72 minutes

Total time spent = 138 + 34 + 72 = 244 minutes = 4 hours and 04 minutes

Subtract 4:04 from 5:28 to get 1:24pm

Check
Movie watch starts at 4:04, ends at 1:24 + 2:18 or 3:42pm
Card game starts at 3:42pm ends at 3:42+0:34 ==> 4:16pm
Soccer starts at 4:16pm ends at 4:16pm + 1:12 ==> 5;28pm
