Lets write this out:-

$\frac{50}{100} + \frac{30}{100}$

To answer this we just need to add the numerators of both fractions because the denominator's are already common multiples.

$\frac{50}{100}+ \frac{30}{100} = \frac{80}{100}$

Now lets simplify $\frac{80}{100}$ .

$\frac{80/20}{100/20}= \frac{4}{5}$

So, $\frac{50}{100}+ \frac{30}{100} = \frac{80}{100}= \frac{4}{5}$

Hope I helped ya!! xD

There are 3 islands A,B,C. Island B is east of island A, 8 miles away. Island C is northeast of A, 5 miles away and northwest of

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The bearing needed to navigate from island B to island C is approximately 38.213º.

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometrical diagram representing the statement is introduced below as attachment, and from Trigonometry we determine that bearing needed to navigate from island B to C by the Cosine Law:

$AC^{2} = AB^{2}+BC^{2}-2\cdot AB\cdot BC\cdot \cos \theta$ (1)

Where:

$AC$ - The distance from A to C, measured in miles.

$AB$ - The distance from A to B, measured in miles.

$BC$ - The distance from B to C, measured in miles.

$\theta$ - Bearing from island B to island C, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, we clear the bearing angle within the equation:

$AC^{2}-AB^{2}-BC^{2}=-2\cdot AB\cdot BC\cdot \cos \theta$

$\cos \theta = \frac{BC^{2}+AB^{2}-AC^{2}}{2\cdot AB\cdot BC}$

$\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{BC^{2}+AB^{2}-AC^{2}}{2\cdot AB\cdot BC} \right)$ (2)

If we know that $BC = 7\,mi$ , $AB = 8\,mi$ , $AC = 5\,mi$ , then the bearing from island B to island C:

$\theta = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{(7\mi)^{2}+(8\,mi)^{2}-(5\,mi)^{2}}{2\cdot (8\,mi)\cdot (7\,mi)} \right]$

$\theta \approx 38.213^{\circ}$

The bearing needed to navigate from island B to island C is approximately 38.213º.

Answer:

54 balloons in each room

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 54 because the company had 335 balloons, but then 11 exploded, so first you do 335-11=324. Lastly, you have to divide 324÷6, which gives you 54 balloons in each room
