It probably is 2 1/4 because 1/2 to the second power is 1/4 then added to 2 will be 2 1/4. Hope this helps! Good Luck with your homework!!!
First of all, you add 1/3 and 4/5, so you get:

To add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Since 3 and 5 don't have a common factor, so you multiply 1/3 by 5, and 4/5 by 3, so you get:


Now, the two fractions got the same denominator, and you can add them by adding the numerators over the same denominator. (You don't add denominators in addition) so you get:


That's the sum of 1/3 + 4/5.
Now, they want the sum of the 2 fractions 7 times. So you multiply 17/15 by 7. And as you know, 7 = 7/1. So you get:

In multiplication no need to have the same denominator. You multiply nominators by nominators and denominators by denominators. So you get:


Since 119 and 15 don't have a common factor, so they can't be simplified.
So, the answer is 119/15.
Hope this Helps! :D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 20 men and 8 of them prefer movies.
If the price for three of them is $2.99, then you divide that by three to find the price for one can. This would equal .9966666667, which could probably be rounded to 99 cents or just a dollar per can. Hope that helps.
