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.
<span>8! - 5! = (8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) - (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 8 * 7 * 6 = 336 </span>
Answer:
13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, then
x + 8 = 48 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
8x + 8 = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
8x = 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 5
Then
leg = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13
To answer the question above, we let s be the cost of a shirt and h be the cost of each hat such that the equations that would best represent the given are:
10s + 20h = 490
20s + 30h = 860
The system of equations is the answer to the first question and the values of s and h are $25 and $12, respectively.
Answer:
=6
Step-by-step explanation:
(5×8)×(5-2)/(5×4)
Numerator =40×3
=120
Denominator = 5×4
=20
simplifying 120/20
=6
