What is the average of 1/2 and 1/3

Hi there!

In order to fin the average, you need to add all the terms together and then divide the result by the number of terms :

(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}) ÷ 2 = average


Now, I’m assuming that you know that in order to add fractions, both fractions must have the same denominator (bottom number in a fraction). Since these fractions do not have the same denominator, we must give them one.


To find the lowest common denominator (which will help us solve this problem), we must find out what 2 & 3 go into. Well, both numbers go into 6!


So, if the denominator is now 6, you must multiply the numerator (numbers about the “/” line in this case are both 1) by how much you multiplied its denominator by.


For 1/2, you multiplied 2 by 3 to get 6. Therefore, you must multiply the 1 by 3 aswell.


for 1/3, you multiplied 3 by 2 to get 6. Therefore, you must multiply the 1 by 2.


and now you have 3/6+2/6 since the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators normally which gives you 5/6


\frac{5}{6} ÷ 2 = \frac{5}{12}


Your answer is : \frac{5}{12}


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

The population of a town is growing exponentially and can be modeled by the
svp [43]

The population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands

<h3>How to determine the population in 1950?</h3>

The equation of the model is given as:

f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)

1960 is 10 years after 1950.

This means that:

t = 10

Substitute t = 10 in f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)

f(10) = 42e^(0.015 * 10)

Evaluate

f(10) = 48.80

Hence, the population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands

Two numbers N and 16 have LCM = 48 and GCF = 8. Find N.
RSB [31]
LCM=product of highest occurring primes in the numbers prime factorization.

GCF=product of shared primes in the numbers prime factorization.

16=2*2*2*2

Since the GCF is 8 N and 16 share only 2*2*2

Since the LCM is 48 and 16 has 2*2*2*2 the other number has a factor of 3

So the other number is 2*2*2*3=24

N=24
