Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
1 loaf if bread= 2/3 cup
15 loaves of bread= 2/3 × 15
= 10
-12 + 5(3) = total yards at the end
So your answer would be 3 yards
First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3
We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.
5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.
Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.
6000/x would equal 4/15.
Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.
90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.
90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.
4/15 is the fraction by Jack
22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
Well, to add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest common denominator would be 12. So you must multiply each fraction so that both denominators are 12.
3/4*3/3=9/12
1/3*4/4=4/12
Add those two fractions together, reduce if possible, and you have your answer!
9/12+4/12=13/12
You can't reduce, so 13/12 is your answer.
Hope it helps!
