Answer

7/16

Explanation

We need to find a common denominator, in this case it is 16:

$\dfrac{3}{8}+\dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{3\cdot2}{8\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{6}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{6+1}{16}=\dfrac{7}{16}$

The ratio of coins to notes in a bag is 3 to 8. If there are a total of 24 coins then how many notes are there?

BaLLatris [955]

Set up a proportion
3 coins:8 notes and then the other one 24 coins : x (unknown notes)
they have a relationship so we can set them equal to each other.
3/8=24/x cross multiply: 8 * 24 = 192
Now divide that by 3: 192/3 = 64
So there are 64 notes in the bag

Estimate the sum or difference.

dangina [55]

1) $\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{19}{24}$

2) $\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{29}{24}$

3) $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{24}$

4) $\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{25}{24}$

5) $\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{24}$

6) $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{25}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the sum of two fractions, we first have to find the lowest common denominator of the two fractions, then multiply the numerator of each fraction by the ratio between the lowest common denominator and the original denominator, and then add/subtract the two new numerators.

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=$

Here the lowest common denominator between 6 and 8 is 24,

So we have to rewrite each fraction as having denominator 24: this means that we have to multiply both numerator and denominator of the 1st fraction by 4 (because 24/6=4), and both numerator and denominator of the 2nd fraction by 3 (because 24/8=3).

So the new numerators of the two fractions are:

$4\cdot 4 = 16\\1\cdot 3 = 3$

The expression then becomes:

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{3}{24}=\frac{16+3}{24}=\frac{19}{24}$

$\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=$

Here the lowest common denominator between 6 and 8 is again 24,

so we have again to multiply both numerator and denominator of the 1st fraction by 4, and both numerator and denominator of the 2nd fraction by 3.

So the new numerators of the two fractions are:

$2\cdot 4 = 8\\7\cdot 3 = 21$

And we get:

$\frac{2}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{8+21}{24}=\frac{29}{24}$

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}$

The denominators are the same, so the lowest common denominator is always 24. So we can adopt the same procedure, and new numerators are:

$5\cdot 4 = 20\\3\cdot 3 = 9$

And so:

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}=\frac{20-9}{24}=\frac{11}{24}$

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=$

Using the same lowest common denominator, 24, the new numerators are:

$4\cdot 4 = 16\\3\cdot 3 = 9$

And so we can rewrite the expression as

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{9}{24}=\frac{16+9}{24}=\frac{25}{24}$

$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=$

Again, the lowest common denominator is 24. This time the denominator of the 1st fraction is 8 while the denominator of the 2nd fraction is 6, so we have to multiply the numerator of the 1st fraction by 3 and the numerator of the 2nd fraction by 4.

We get:

$7\cdot 3 = 21\\5\cdot 4 = 20$

So the expression will be rewritten as:

$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{21}{24}-\frac{20}{24}=\frac{21-20}{24}=\frac{1}{24}$

$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=$

Here the situation is similar to the first 4 exercises: using 24 as lowest common denominator, the numerators become

$1\cdot 4 = 4\\7\cdot 3 = 21$

So the expression becomes

$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{4}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{4+21}{24}=\frac{25}{24}$

Why should you not choose a point on the line to find the direction of shading in an inequality?

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Because we know for a fact that the line has a correct answer. Plus, if you choose a point on the line then it will not give you the visual side of which is correct and which is wrong.

System of Equations y=-x-1 y+x=3 Solve?

Solve by substitution

$\sf{y=-x-1}$
$\sf{y+x=3}$

Just plug in y=-x-1 into y+x=3

So we get:

$\sf{(-x-1)+x=3}$

Simplify that:

$\sf{-1=3}$

And since that is not true, that means this system of equations has no solutions!
