Answer:
11/15
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 + 1/3
6/15 + 5/15 (which are equivalent fractions of 2/5 and 1/3 respectively)
11/15
There would be 12 people at the party!
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.
Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
Hope this helps!
Ratios of Area of the two squares = 25:9
So then let the areas be A1 = 25A and A2 = 9A, A is common element
Side of the smaller area S2 = 30 meters
Area of the smaller square A2 = 30 x 30 = 900
We have area of smaller square as 9A = 900 => A = 100
Area of the large square = 25A = 25 x 100 = 2500.
Hence S1^2 = 2500 => S1 = 50 meters which is 20 meters longer than the
side of the smaller square.
The answer is 0.1
17/10 - 8/5 = 0.1
