3 friends equally shared 1/2 pound of trail mix, during the hike.

Total quantity of trail mix = 1/2 pound

Quantity shared by each friend is 1/3 rd of the trial mix

= 1/3 * 1/2 pound

= 1/6 pound

Therefore, during the hike, each friend shared 1/6 pound of the trail mix.

Hope this helps ..!!

$\bf \cfrac{1}{2}\div 3\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{1}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}$

Tanya spent 1/5 of her allowance on candy and 2/3 on food. What fraction of her allowance did Tanya spend on food and candy alto

kari74 [83]

13/15 of her allowance was spent in total.

To solve this, you'd need to find the least common denominator (LCD) so that both fractions have the same number on the bottom. In this case, the first number that you could get with 5 and 3 was 15.

Next, you'd have to multiply the numerator by the same amount as the denominator, so that the fractions are proportionate. So, for 1/5, since we had to multiply 5 by 3 to get 15, we'd multiply 1 by 3 as well, giving us 3/15. Doing the same with 2/3, we'd get 10/15.

Then, you add the two fractions together (10/15 + 3/15 = 13/15).

Now, in any other case, you could probably simplify the fraction after you've solved the problem. If we got 12/15 instead of 13/15, then we could simplify that to 4/5, since both 12 and 15 are divisible by 3. But in this case, this is the simplest form of that fraction.

Hope this helped!!!

Rename 3/4 and 9/10 using the least common denominator.

klio [65]

Answer:

15/20 and 18/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Least common denomintor of 3/4 and 9/10 = least common multiple of 4 and 10

multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

multiples of 10: 10, 20

Least common denominator = 20

Rewrite fractions: 15/20 and 18/20

Please Help!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The correct statements are:

A) This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation $x^{2} + 4x + 4$ has exactly two roots.

B: The quadratic equation $x^{2} + 4x + 4$ has one real solution, x=−2, and therefore has one real root with a multiplicity of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given polynomial is $f(x) = x^{2} + 4x + 4$

FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA:

If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, then P(x) = 0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots.

Now, here the given polynomial is a quadratic polynomial with degree 2.

So, by the fundamental theorem, f(x) has EXACTLY 2 roots including multiple and complex roots.

Now, solving the equation , we get that the only possible roots of the polynomial p(x) is x = -2 and x = -2

So, f(x) has only one distinct root x = -2 with a multiplicity 2.

Hence, the correct statements are:

A) This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation $x^{2} + 4x + 4$ has exactly two roots.

B: The quadratic equation $x^{2} + 4x + 4$ has one real solution, x=−2, and therefore has one real root with a multiplicity of 2.

Lily hikes at least 1 hour but not more than 3 hours. She hikes at an average rate of 2.2 miles per hour. The distance Lily hike

Basile [38]

Average rate = distance / time
distance = average rate x time

Range of distance = 2.2(1) to 2.2(3) = 2.2 to 6.6

Required range is all real numbers from 2.2 to 6.6, inclusive.
