To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15. 
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.
Hope I helped!

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

because 5 x 4 = 20 and 20 × 4 = 80 and so on y is equal to four

2.A production process manufactures items with weights that are normally distributed with mean 10 pounds and standard deviation
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean = 10

standard deviation = 0.1

sample mean = 9.8 < x > 10.2

The z score can be computed as:

z = \dfrac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma}

if x > 10.2

z = \dfrac{10.2- 10}{0.1}

z = \dfrac{0.2}{0.1}

z = 2

If x < 9.8

z = \dfrac{9.8- 10}{0.1}

z = \dfrac{-0.2}{0.1}

z = -2

The p-value = P (z ≤ 2) + P (z ≥ 2)

The p-value = P (z ≤ 2) + ( 1 -  P (z ≥ 2)

p-value = 0.022750 +(1 -   0.97725)

p-value = 0.022750 +  0.022750

p-value = 0.0455

Therefore; the probability of defectives  = 4.55%

the probability of acceptable = 1 - the probability of defectives

the probability of acceptable = 1 - 0.0455

the probability of acceptable = 0.9545

the probability of acceptable = 95.45%

4.55% are defective or 95.45% is acceptable.

sampling distribution of proportions:

sample size n=1000

p = 0.0455

The z - score for this distribution at most 5% of the items is;

z = \dfrac{0.05 - 0.0455}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0455\times 0.9545}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{0.0045}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04342975}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{0.0045}{\sqrt{4.342975 \times 10^{-5}}}

z = 0.6828

The p-value = P(z ≤ 0.6828)

From the z tables

p-value = 0.7526

Thus, the probability that at most 5% of the items in a given batch will be defective = 0.7526

The z - score for this distribution for at least 85% of the items is;

z = \dfrac{0.85 - 0.9545}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0455\times 0.9545}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{-0.1045}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04342975}{1000}}}

z = −15.86

p-value = P(z ≥  -15.86)

p-value = 1 - P(z <  -15.86)

p-value = 1 - 0

p-value = 1

Thus, the probability that at least 85% of these items in a given batch will be acceptable = 1

Solve for u. 15u − 12u = 15
Leno4ka [110]

15u - 12u = 5

First combine like terms

3u = 5

Then isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 3

u = 5/3

u = 1 2/3

Hope this helped!
