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!!!

Find the number of possible outcomes in the sample space. The chess club must decide when and where to meet for a practice. The
Lesechka [4]

Solution

- The number of possible outcomes in the sample space is simply gotten by multiplying out all the events together.

- There are 3 possible days: Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Thus, there are 3 possible outcomes.

- There are 3 possible times: 3PM, 4PM, or 5PM. Thus, there are 3 possible outcomes again.

- There are also 9 possible classrooms available meaning another 9 possible outcomes.

- Thus, the total possible outcomes in the sample space is

3\times3\times9=81\text{ possible outcomes}

Amir says the graph of<br> y= x2 + 16 has -4 as a zero. Is Amir correct?<br> Explain.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

  • Amir is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y = x² + 16 is positive for any value of x, hence the graph has no intersection with the x-axis and therefore has no real zero's.

If no zero's, -4 also can't be its zero.

Kendra earns $70 per week mowing lawns. She saves 60% of the money she earns each week. How many weeks will it take Kendra to sa
katrin [286]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find how much money she saves a week by multiplying the decimal form of 60% and $70.

To get the decimal form of a percent you have to move the decimal to the left twice, like this: 60 ---> .60

Now that we have the decimal form of the percent we can multiply it by the 70 to find how much she saves a week:

(70)(.6) = 42

Therefore, Kendra saves $42 each week.

To find how many weeks it will take Kendra to buy the game system you divide $210 by the $42. Like this:

(210)/(42) = 5

All in all, it will take Kendra 5 weeks to save enough money to buy a game system that costs $210.
