Answer: $2\frac{3}{20}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, convert mixed numbers into improper fractions and simplify all fractions

$\frac{4}{10}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

$1\frac{6}{8}$ = $\frac{8(1) + 6}{8}$ = $\frac{14}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{7}{4}$

Next, find their sum. Remember to find the LCD and convert the fractions so they have like denominators.

Monday + Tuesday = Total

$\frac{2}{5}$ + $\frac{7}{4}$ = Total <em>the LCD of 5 and 4 is 20</em>

$(\frac{4}{4})\frac{2}{5}$ + $(\frac{5}{5})\frac{7}{4}$ = Total

$\frac{8}{20}$ + $\frac{35}{20}$ = Total

$\frac{43}{20}$ = Total

Then, convert the improper fraction into a mixed number

$\frac{43}{20}$ = $2\frac{3}{20}$

Which of the following sets of lengths could not be the side lengths of a triangle?

docker41 [41]

To find out if the three side lengths can create a triangle, the three smaller lengths must be greater than the longer length.

$\bf~Option~A$

$\sf~3~meters,5~meters,7~meters$

$\sf3+5=8>7$

So this can create a triangle.

$\bf~Option~B$

$\sf1~yard,1.25~yards,1.5~yards$

$\sf1+1.25=2.25>1.5$

So this can create a triangle.

$\bf~Option~C$

$\sf5~inches,10.5~inches,17~inches$

$\boxed{\sf5+10.5=15.5$

So this cannot create a triangle.

$\bf~Option~D$

$\sf15~millimeters,18~millimeters,30~millimeters$

$\sf15+18=33>30$

So this can create a triangle.

Therefore, your answer is Option C.
