Hi there!
Yes, if the two fractions are less than one, their sum can be greater than one. Take the example of 3/4 and 3/4. It is less than 1, but has a sum if 1 1/2.
However, their sum cannot be greater than 2. For that to happen, there would have to be a sum of at least 1 and 1, which are not fractions.

Hope this helps :)

Their sum can be greater than two. There is nothing that states that they couldn't be. All it states it that the two factions sums are less than 1. I hoped this helps

The equation y=8.50x + 33 can be used to estimate the monthly premium y of a $250,000 term life insurance policy for a male smok

Answer:

$101

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 8.50x + 33$

$x \to$ age above 40

Required

Insurance for 48 years old

First, we solve for x

$x = 48 - 40$

$x = 8$

So, we have:

$y = 8.50x + 33$

$y = 8.50 * 8 + 33$

$y = 68 + 33$

$y = 101$

Ravi deposits $600 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 4% per year. How much interest will he be paid in the

tamaranim1 [39]

Just find the interest paid after one year, and then multiply the result by 6 (years). This gives you the amount of simple interest.

The easiest approach would be to use the formula i = p r t. In this case p = $600, r = 0.04, and t = 6 years.

A shark weighs 405 kg and 68 grams a second shark weighs 324 kg and 75 g how much more does the first shark weigh in grams than

mariarad [96]

For this case we have to by definition:

1 kg equals 1000 grams

Shark 1:

405 kg and 68 grams

$405 kg * \frac {1000 g} {1kg} = 405,000 grams$

Thus, shark 1 weighs 405,068 grams.

Shark 2:

324 kg and 75 grams

$324 kg * \frac {1000 g} {1 kg} = 324,000 grams$

Thus, shark 2 weighs 324,075 grams.

Subtracting we have:

$405.068 grams-324.075 grams = 80.993 grams$

Thus, shark 1 weighs 80,993 grams more than the second.

Answer:

Shark 1 weighs 80,993 grams more than the second.
