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

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.

\bigstar\:\boxed{\bf{\purple{x^{\frac{m}{n}}}=\orange{(\sqrt[n]{x})^m}}}

Let's solve !

:\implies\sf\:25^{\frac{3}{2}}

:\implies\sf\:(\sqrt[2]{25})^3

:\implies\sf\:5^3

:\implies\boxed{\bf{\red{125}}}

<u>Hence, Oprion-D is correct</u> !

a beekeeper estimates that his bee population will triple each year. Currently he has 150 bees. Write a function to represent th
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Exponential functions!

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you are dealing with is an exponential function!

So, to solve this, we need to first understand the main form of an exponential function:

f(x)=a*b^{x}

Where a is the number we start off with, and b is the constant thing(forgot what it was called).

Now, 150 is our starting number, so it is a, and b is our constant at which the initial term is multiplied, which is 3!

Also, defining variables:

Let f(x)= # of Bees

Let x= # of years

Thus, here is our equation:

f(x)=150*3^{x}

So, that's it!

Now, some of my answers have been recently deleted because they violated community guidelines for recommending something that shall not be named, so if you do really need help on the subject, look online! It is the largest source of information humanity has created! (also I cannot explain Exponential Functions in a single paragraph)

Stay Safe!
