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.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

.35lbs or 7/20lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

if 5 1/4 lbs of blueberries are being distributed evenly through 15 cheesecakes, you would divide 5 1/4 by 15 to see how many lbs of blueberries would be in each cheesecake, which would make .35 lbs of blueberries per cheesecake, or 7/20 lbs.

How do you put Twenty two more than four times a number is less than 82.
ankoles [38]

well more than means add, less than means subtract, times means multiply.

So 22+ 4 x W is less than 82.

try to find W.

26 x W is equal or less than 82.

If you divide 82/26 you get 3.15 something round that to 3 your W=3.
