The question is asking you to add mixed numbers together. The two mixed numbers you want to add up are 2 1/3 and 3 1/3.

This question is fairly simpler than other mixed number or fraction types of problems because the fractions attached to the whole numbers already come having common denominators.

This means you don't have to do anything extra to the fractions to add them; you can just add the numerators (top numbers) together and keep the denominators the same.

Add the fractions (1/3) together first.

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

Now add the whole numbers together.

2 + 3 = 5

Combine the whole number and the fraction together to create the mixed number as your answer. Your answer is 5 and 2/3.

Beau's grandmother started depositing $500 in a savings account each

Given:

Beau's grandmother started depositing $500 in a savings account each year in his birthday

Rate of simple interest = 2.5%

Time = 3 years

To find:

The interest.

Solution:

Formula for simple interest:

$I=\dfrac{P\times r\times t}{100}$

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest and t is time in years.

Interest for first year is

$I_1=\dfrac{500\times 2.5\times 1}{100}$

$I_1=12.5$

New principal = $500+500=1000$

Interest for second year is

$I_2=\dfrac{1000\times 2.5\times 1}{100}=12.5$

$I_2=25$

New principal = $1000+500=1500$

Interest for third year is

$I_3=\dfrac{1500\times 2.5\times 1}{100}=12.5$

$I_3=37.5$

Total interest for 3 years is

$I=I_1+I_2+I_3$

$I=12.5+25+37.5$

$I=75$

So, interest after 3 years is $75.

Therefore, the correct options A.

Alfred collects black and brown socks but loses a lot of them. If 60% of all his socks are brown, 20% of his brown socks are in

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Alfred has 250 socks in his collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

Based on the information given to us we can see that out of All his Brown socks he has 20% in the wash and the rest are in his drawer. Meaning 80% of the Brown socks are in his drawer. So we first need to find how many Brown socks are in the wash. We can solve this using the Rule of Three property as shown in the picture below.

120 drawer ⇒ 80%

x wash ⇒ 20%

$\frac{120*20}{80} = 30$

Now that we have the amount of Brown socks in the washer we can add that to the amount in the drawer to find the total amount of Brown socks.

$Br = 120+30\\Br = 150$

So we now know that there are a total of 150 Brown socks. Since the question states that the Brown socks are 60% of the total we can use the Rule of Three to find the total.

150 Brown ⇒ 60%

T Total ⇒ 100%

$\frac{150*100}{60} = T$
