Leave the answer as an improper fraction

Ghella [55]

Hey there!

ANSWER: $\frac{23}{20}$

EXPLANATION:

To find the answer to your question, you will need to add.

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{5}$

First, multiply the denominator.

$5*4=20$

So the denominator will be 20.

Now move on to the numerator. Multiply 5 by 3.

$5*3=15$

Now multiply 4 bu 2.

$4*2=8$

If you want to get the numerator, add what you got after multiply.

$15+8=23$

The numerator is 23. So now let's complete the fraction.

$\frac{23}{20}$

This is your answer!

Hope this helps!

one third of a land is on maize, a fifth of the remainder is on potatoes and the rest which is 0.5 ha is on beans. how much of t

disa [49]

Answer: $1250\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Total land.

Then for Maize = $\dfrac{x}{3}$

For Potatoes = $\dfrac15(x-\dfrac {x}{3})=\dfrac15(\dfrac{2x}{3})=\dfrac{2}{15}x$

For beans = $x- (\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{2}{15}x)=0.5 \ ha$

$\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{5x+2x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{7x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{15x-7x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{8x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.5\times\dfrac{15}{8} \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.9375 \ ha$

1 ha = 10000.00 m²

0.9375 ha = 9375 m²

Land for potatoes = $\dfrac{2}{15}(9375) =1250\ m^2$

Hence, $1250\ m^2$ of the land is on potatoes.

Amrita thinks of a number. She doubles it, adds 9 , divides her answer by 3 and finally subtracts 1 . She obtains the same numbe

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Amrita's number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x Double the unknown number

2x Add 9

2x + 9 Divide the answer by 3

2/3x + 3 Subtract 1

2/3x + 2 Set this equal to the original number

2/3x + 2 = x

-2/3x -2/3x Subtract 2/3x from both sides

2 = 1/3x Multiply both sides by 3

6 = x
