I need to simplify this complex fraction

Mathematics

I see two ways to do it.

First, you have to understand that when you see a 'complex fraction' like this, the top number is a numerator, and the two bottom numbers are both denominators.

Way-1:

Take the top fraction . . . 2/2 .  That's equal to 1 . So the whole thing is <em>1/3</em>.

Way-2:

Multiply the bottom two denominators.  Then the whole thing is 2/(2·3) .  That's the same thing as  2/6 .  Simplify that, and you have <em>1/3</em> .

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

9b)Transportation-17%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Year 2000

  • Average Household Income (before taxes)=$44,649
  • Amount Spent on Food =$5,158
  • Amount Spent on Transportation=$7,417

Therefore:

(a)Percentage of the average household income in 2000 was spent on food

=\dfrac{5158}{44649} \times 100\\\\=11.55\%\\\\\approx 12\% $(to the nearest percent.)

Answer:

$6 = cost of small box

$8 = cost of large box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = cost of small box

     l  = cost of large box

(1)    12s + 3l = 96            (2)     6s + 6l = 84

    Multiply by -2                    <u> -24s - 6l = -192</u>

                                                -18s   = - 108

                                                     s = $6 = cost of small box

      12(6) + 3l = 96

         72 + 3l = 96

                 3l = 24

                   l = $8 = cost of large box

Jimmy can run 3.5 miles in 20 minutes. how far can ne run in one hour and ten minutes?
prisoha [69]

Hello There!

Before we start, I am going to divide 3.5 by 2 because then we can multiply by 7 to see how far Jimmy can run in 70 minutes.

Jimmy can run 1.75 miles in 10 minutes.

To find out how many miles he can run in 70 minutes, we just multiply 1.75 by 7 and we get a product of 12.25

Jimmy Can Run 12.25 Miles In 70 Minutes
