3/8 + 5/12 = 

B. 19/24

We can calculate the mmc between 8 and 12

8, 12 | 2

4 , 6 | 2

2 , 3 | 2

1 , 3 | 3

1, 1 | 1

mmc = 2 × 2× 2×3

mmc = 24

24 ÷ 8 = 3

And

24 ÷ 12 = 2

3/8 + 5/12 = ( 3× 3+ 5×2)/24

= (9 + 10)/24

= 19 / 24

Answer = 19/24

Another way of calculating would be to multiply the denominator and multiply the extremes.


3/8 + 5/12 = ( 3 × 12 + 8×5)/8×12

= ( 36 + 40)/96

= 76/96

Division by 2

= 38 / 48

Division by 2

= 19 / 24

I hope this has helped.

In need of geometry help, once again my stupid brain cant remember anything.
melomori [17]

You cannot rely on the drawing alone to prove or disprove congruences. Instead, pull out the info about the sides and angles being congruent so we can make our decision.

The diagram shows that:

  • Side AB = Side XY (sides with one tick mark)
  • Side BC = Side YZ (sides with double tickmarks)
  • Angle C = Angle Z (similar angle markers)

We have two pairs of congruent sides, and we also have a pair of congruent angles. We can't use SAS because the angles are not between the congruent sides. Instead we have SSA which is not a valid congruence theorem (recall that ambiguity is possible for SSA). The triangles may be congruent, or they may not be, we would need more information.

---------------

So to answer the question if they are congruent, I would say "not enough info". If you must go with a yes/no answer, then I would say "no, they are not congruent" simply because we cannot say they are congruent. Again we would need more information.

The length of a rectangle is 5959 inches greatergreater than twice the width. if the diagonal is 2 inches more than the​ length,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Length: 2w + 59

width: w

diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2  = 2w + 61

Length² + width² = diagonal²

(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²

(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w²  = 4w² + 122w + 3721

5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721

w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721

w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721

w² - 4w - 240 = 0

a = 1, b = -4, c = -240

w = [-(b) +/- \sqrt{(b)^{2}  - 4(a)(c) }]/2(a)

 = [-(-4) +/- \sqrt{(-4)^{2}  - 4(1)(-240) }]/2(1)

   =  [4 +/- \sqrt{(16  + 960) }]/2        

  = [4 +/- \sqrt{(976) }]/2  

  = [2 +/- 4\sqrt{(61) }]/2  

  = 1 +/- 2\sqrt{(61) }

since width cannot be negative, disregard  1 - 2√61

w = 1 + 2√61  ≈ 16.62

Length: 2w + 59  =  2(1 + 2√61) + 59  = 2 + 4√61 + 59  =  61 + 4√61  ≈ 92.24

Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in

From Denver yo Chicago =3in if the scale is 1in=300miles
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Basically a proportion so it’d be 1in/300 mi = 3in/x mi
cross multiple that out and you get 300•3=x and then just solve for x. the answer should be 900 miles.
