Okay so we have to first find the total.
8+3+5= 16 candies
7+4+9= 20 drinks
Since she wants to get a yellow candy and any drink but orange, put that information as a fraction.
8/16= 50% or 1/2
11/20= 55% (By the way you get 11 because of the 7 red and 4 blue).
And that's your answer!
Hope this helped and good luck! ^=^

Andy is scuba diving. He starts at sea level and then descends 10 feet in 2 1/2 minutes. Represent Andy's descent in feet per mi

Answer:

4 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sorry no one has helped you in 40 minutes, so let me.

Theres a fun trick when it comes to saying something 'per' something;

as you can look at the word per as a fancy word for divide.

So if I have Xylophones per Megaphone then I'm basically saying:

Xylophones divided by megaphones

So in this case its 10 feet per 2 1/2 minutes and we'd understand it as 10/2.5

Lets show this

10 ft per 2 1/2 minutes = 10/2.5 ft/min = 4 ft/min

Hope this helps :)

When it comes to finding the common denominator, do I add or subtract it to the denominator ​
Aloiza [94]

Answer: Subtract

Step-by-step explanation: Make your denominator equal using the concept of LCM, then subtract the numerators accordingly. Rewrite each fraction to its equivilent fraction with a denominator equal to the LCM=30, then you need to subtract the numberators, but make sure to reduce your answer to the lowest possible term. I hope this helps.

6 x 7 = 56

8 x 3 = 24

56 + 24 = 80

Adding the unit: 80 ft.
