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!

19. The temperatures at sunrise and sunset<br> are shown in the table
Likurg_2 [28]

The temperature change on the second day is greater than the temperature change on the first day.

<h3>What is temperature change?</h3>

The term temperature change refers to the difference in the temperature between the sunrise and the sunset. The temperature at sunrise and sunset are shown in the table attached to this answer.

The change in temperature on the first day is;

13.49 - (-11.31) = 24.80

The change in temperature on the second day is;

25.25 - (-7.69) = 32.94

Thus, the temperature change on the second day is greater than the temperature change on the first day.

Simplify the expression 3/2 (5/3) -1 1/4 + 1/2 Given the answer as a simplified fraction. The simplified expression is a/b.
ella [17]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The simplified fraction is:

\frac{7}{4}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem we must remember the following:

- Addition or subtraction of fractions, we add or subtract fractions by the following way:

\frac{a}{b}(+-)\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad(+-)bc}{bd}

- Product of fractions, the multiplication of fraction is linear, meaning that we should multiply the numerator by the numerator and denominator by denominator, so:

\frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}

- Convert mixed number to fraction,

a\frac{b}{c}=a+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}

So, solving we have:

\frac{3}{2}*\frac{5}{3}-1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3*5}{2*3} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{3*5}{2*3} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6} -(1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6} -(1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6}-(\frac{4+1}{1*4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6}-(\frac{4+1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6}-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}

\frac{15}{6}-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{5}{4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{5}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{(4*5)-(2*5)}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{(4*5)-(2*5)}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{20-10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{20-10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(5*2)+(4*1)}{2*4}\\\\\frac{(5*2)+(4*1)}{2*4}=\frac{10+4}{8}=\frac{14}{8}\\\\\frac{14}{8}=\frac{7}{4}

Hence, the simplified fraction is:

\frac{7}{4}

How the heck do I do this? And what’s the answer?
stira [4]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find two expressions that, when simplified, give the same results.

1) First, simplify the expression stated in the question. Multiply each of the terms in the parentheses by the number that is next to them. This would mean you have to multiply both 9x and -6 by \frac{2}{3}. You also have to multiply \frac{1}{2}x and -\frac{1}{2} by 4. Then, simplify.

\frac{2}{3}(9x-6) + 4 (\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2})\\\frac{18}{3}x- \frac{12}{3} + \frac{4}{2}x -\frac{4}{2} \\6x - 4 + 2x - 2

2) Now, combine the like terms.

6x - 4 + 2x - 2

8x - 6

So, we need to find which of the expressions listed equal 8x - 6.

3) Let's try option A. Do the same as before. Multiply each of the terms in the parentheses by the number that is next to them. So, multiply 4x and -12 by \frac{3}{4}. Also, multiply 30x and 18 by \frac{1}{6}. Then, combine like terms and simplify.

\frac{3}{4} (4x-12) + \frac{1}{6}(30x + 18)\\\frac{12}{4}x-\frac{36}{4} + \frac{30}{6} x + \frac{18}{6}   \\3x - 9 + 5x + 3 \\8x - 6

This also equals 8x - 6. Therefore, option A is the answer.
