What you do is you find the common denominator between the two fractions given.  the easiest is to just multiply them 

6*8=48

and then multiply each numerator by the number it's denominator is multiplied by

1*8=8  and 5*6=30

and now you have your new fractions, add them together

8/48+30/48=38/48

this leaves 10/48 as the people who were wearing shorts,  just simplify this and it's done

10/2    =5/24
48/2

The answer to this problem is 5/24. First you find the LCM that is 48. Then you multiply 1 by 8 and get 8 so that fraction is 8/48. Then you multiply 5 by 4 and  get 20 put that into a fraction and subtract then you reduce the fraction.

Please plot this linear equation on a graph, and also explain how to plot it. <br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3x-7" i
olasank [31]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this equation in a single step, we just need a bit of theory and a graph.

We can first see that its in y=mx+b form. Which is also known as Slope-Intercept form.

This means that we know the following.

  • b is the y coordinate of the y intercept.
  • m is the slope of the line.

Since we know that, we can see that from our equation that the slope of the line is 3 and the y intercept is (0,-7).

Now that we've gotten that, we can start graphing.

The y intercept is -7 so we can plot (0,-7) as one of our points.

The slope of 3 means that we got up 3 units then right a single unit.

Therefore, another point could be (1,-4).

With our two points, we can create our graph by creating a straight line through those two points and therefore plotting our line.

Cheers!
