Why do fractions need to have a common denominator before you add or subtract them?

Mathematics

djyliett [7]4 years ago

Fractions need common denominator to add or subtract them because without denominators a fraction is not a fraction, it is a whole number
Example - 2/8 is a fraction
                but 2 is not a fraction

Blood is a buffer solution. When carbon dioxide is absorbed into the bloodstream, it produces carbonic acid and lowers the pH. T
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x ≅ 20.10 torr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the equation which models blood pH in the question is;

pH(x)=6.1+log(800/x)

where;

pH = 7.7

x = partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, measured in torr.

we are asked to find (x)

In order to do that, we use the given equation:

pH(x)=6.1+log(800/x)

since pH = 7.7

7.7 = 6.1 + log (800/x)

7.7 - 6.1 =  log (800/x)

1.6 =  log (800/x)

10^{1.6}= \frac{800}{x}

x= \frac{800}{10^{1.6}}

x = 20.09509145

x ≅ 20.10 torr

Kevin can travel 22 1/2 miles in 1/3 hour. what is his average speed in miles per hour
klemol [59]
We know that speed * time = distance

Before we start we need to make sure the units for all three numbers are right

The time is 1/3 of a hour, 1/3*60 = 20 minutes

x * 20 = 22.5
 
x *2 * 10 = 22.5

2x = 2.25
 
x = 1.125

Solve each equation by completing the square <br>r² = –12r - 35​
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

r = - 7, r = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

r² = - 12r - 35 ( add 12r to both sides )

r² + 12r = - 35

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the r- term )² to both sides

r² + 2(6)r + 36 = - 35 + 36

(r + 6)² = 1 ← take the square root of both sides )

r + 6 = ± 1 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

r = - 6 ± 1, thus

r = - 6 - 1 = - 7 or r = - 6 + 1 = - 5
