Hey there!

"Sum" means to add, so let's add the two fractions:

6 + 3 = 9

Find the LCD of both fractions . . .

1/5 = 9/45

8/9 = 40/45

9 + 40 = 49

= 49/45

Simplifying 49/45 . . .

49/45 = 1 4/45

1 + 9 = 10

= 10 4/45

6 1/5 + 3 8/9 = 10 4/45, but as an estimate the best answer will be 10. <---

Your answer is option "C."

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day! :)

Hello there!

Question.

Estimate the sum. 6 1/5 + 3 8/9

Answer:

1.) Make both the denominators the same which the common denominator is 45.

45 ÷ 5 = 9
so, carry 9 to the numerator

9 x 1 = 9

= 6 9/45

45 ÷ 9 = 5
so, carry 5 to the numerator and multiply it by 8.

5 x 8 = 40

= 3 40/45

2.) Then, add the equation:

6 9/45 + 3 40/45

3.) Simplify:

9 49/45

= 10 4/45

4.) Estimate it:

≈ 10
which is C.

Hope this helped!

9. Mark is filling up crates with watermelons for the food drive. He has large watermelons that weigh 10 pounds each and smaller

abruzzese [7]

9. 10x + 5y is the equation for larger watermelons + smaller watermelons (you did not provide information about the medium watermelons, so we must assume given the options you miswrote one of them). We can hold NO MORE than 500 pounds, so 10x + 5y must be smaller than 500. The best answer is C assuming that "5y" represents your "Medium Watermelons"- because smaller watermelons are stated to be 5 and medium ones should therefore be between 5 and 10, the option provided by A wouldn't make since because 3 pounded watermelons are not "medium" in comparison to the "small ones" that are heavier/bigger. Your best option is C, 10x + 5y < 500, the exact answer technically would be 10x + 5y <= 500.

The ______________ probability of an outcome is obtained by dividing the frequency of occurrence of an event by the number of tr

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Empirical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical probability is data collected from experiment and real-life situation.

The "empirical probability" of an outcome is obtained by dividing the frequency of occurrence of an event by the number of trails of the experiment.

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{P(E)=\dfrac{\text{number of times event occured}}{\text{number of trails}}$

Therefore, the correct answer is empirical probability.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
