13/21 of his homework

To add fractions, you first have to set the denominators equal to each other. To do this, you find the LCD (least common denominator) of the two fractions until you find a shared number.

To do this, list out the multiples of each number (3x1=3,3x2=6,3x3=9, and so on. Do this also with 7) The LCD for 3 and 7 is 21. 3x7=21, and 7x3=21. You want to set each fraction’s denominator equal to 21.

You want to multiply each side of 1/3 by 7. 1/3 would become 7/21. You’d do this because 3x7=21, and what you multiply the bottom by you need to multiply the top by. 7x3=21 so you multiply both sides by 3 to get 6/21.

Now you have 7/21 and 6/21 and can add them. Now that they are equal, you can ignore the denominator and just add the numerators. 7+6=13 so Eric completed 13/21 of his homework.

Hope this helps!

Philip made a total of 9 bracelets and necklaces from 120 inches of cord. He used 8 inches of cord for each bracelet and 20 inch

Viktor [21]

Answer:

So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of bracelets and y = number of necklaces.

Since we have a total of 9 bracelets and necklaces,

x + y = 9 (1)

Also, we have 8 inches of cord for each bracelet and 20 inches of cord for each necklace, then the total length for the bracelet is 8x and that for the necklace is 20y.

So, the total length for both is 8x + 20y. Since the total length of cord used is 120 inches,

8x + 20y = 120 (2)

Simplifying it we have

2x + 5y = 30 (3).

Writing equations (1) and (3) in matrix form, we have

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9\\30\end{array}\right]$

Using Cramer's rule to solve for x and y,

$x = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&1\\30&5\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\$

x = (9 × 5 - 30 × 1) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)

x = (45 - 30) ÷ (5 - 2)

x = 15 ÷ 3

x = 5

$y = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&9\\2&30\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\$

y = (30 × 1 - 9 × 2) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)

y = (30 - 18) ÷ (5 - 2)

y = 12 ÷ 3

y = 4

So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.

You deposit $300 in a savings account. The account earns 2% simple interest per year.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Answer:

a. ----> $10

b. ----> $110

Step-by-step explanation:

principle ( p ) = $100

time ( t ) = 10 years

rate ( r ) = 11%

simple interest = (p × r × t)÷ 100

= ( $100 × 11 × 10 )÷ 100

= 11000 ÷ 100

= $110

interest = simple interest - principle

interest = $110 - $100

= $10
