Emil starts the day with <u>16 liters</u> of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

What is the common denominator of (5/x^2-4) - (2/x+2) in the complex fraction (2/x-2) - (3/x^2-4)/(5/x^2-4) - (2/x+2)

Answer:

common denominator: (x² -4)
simplified complex fraction: (2x +1)/(9 -2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to remember the factoring of the difference of squares:

a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

__

Your denominator of (x² -4) factors as (x -2)(x +2). You will note that one of these factors is the same as the denominator in the other fraction.

It looks like you want to simplify ...

$\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2}{x-2}-\dfrac{3}{x^2-4}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{x^2-4}-\dfrac{2}{x+2}\right)}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{3}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(x+2)-3}{5-2(x-2)}=\boxed{\dfrac{2x+1}{9-2x}}$

Number 11. I need help!!!

Westkost [7]

First add the seconds you have 45 +5+10 seconds which equals 60 seconds or 1 minutes. Now add the minutes 9 + 7 + 12 minutes = 28 minutes then add that 1 minutes that you got from the seconds 28 + 1 minute = 29 minutes 7:40 + 20 minutes = 8:00 + 9 minutes = 8:09 am. So Marsha arrived to school at 8:09 am. Comment if you have any questions.
