Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile
Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: . From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.
Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books
Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: . For Edgar, that would mean: . So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.
Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)
Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
Answer:
The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a number (17) and want to know some fraction (2/5) of that number, you should multiply the number by the fraction.
17 * (2/5)
= (17*2)/5
= 34/5
= 6.8
You can then round this number up --> about 7 cars.
Answer:
(2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 19
5y = -2x + 19
y =
P(abscissa, ordinate)
P(x, 1.5x)
P(2, 3)
3 = 15/5
3 = 3
