If a gardner plants beans in 1/8 of a plot and tomatoes in 1/6 of a plot, what fraction of the garden is left for other crops

You simply have to sum the two fraction together to get the total amount of occupied plot. To do so, multiply both numerator and denominator of each fration by the same number, so that they end up having the same denominator.

You can multiply both numerator and denominator of 1/8 by 3 to get 3/24. Similarly, you can multiply both numerator and denominator of 1/6 by 4 to get 4/24.

Now we can easily sum the two fractions together:

\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{3}{24}+\dfrac{4}{24} = \dfrac{7}{24}

So, if 7 parts out of 24 are occupied, it means that there are 24-7=17 parts left for other crops. So, the answer is 17/24.

A shipping company uses an inclined conveyor belt to load or unload packages. The dock is 15 feet above ground. The base of the
alexgriva [62]
Hey there! :D

Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base. 

The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse. 

Use the Pythagorean theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

15^2+40^2= c^2 

225+1,600= c^2

Add the values together. 

1,825= c^2

Find the square root of 1,825. 

c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth) 

The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.

I hope this helps!
