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 <span>÷ 5 = 9 
</span>so, carry 9 to the numerator

9 x 1 = 9 

= 6 9/45

45 <span>÷ 9 = 5
</span>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:<span> 

≈ 10 
</span>which is C. 



Hope this helped!

The equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0. If the radius of the circle is decreased without changing the coordinates
stepladder [879]

Answer:

C and D are unchanged, but E increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of circle

x^2+y^2+Cx+Dy+E=0

But we know that general equation of circle is with center at (h,k)

x^2 + y^2 -2hx -2ky + (h^2 + k^2 – r^2) = 0

Comparing both equations we get,

C = -2hx

D = -2ky

As in the given question we are not changing the coordinates of center so C and D will remain unchanged.  

It also gives us

E = (h^2 + k^2 – r^2)

Decreasing r means that a lesser quantity will be subtracted from h^2 + k^2 which will increase the value of E.

Make <br> q the subject of p=6q +7
Illusion [34]

Answer:

p= 6q+7

-7. -7

p-7 =6q

/6. /6

p-7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to make a specific term the subject, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. You do this by 'getting rid' of anything on the term's side of the equation, starting with whatever's furthest from the term. (think BEMDAS but backwards)

p = 6q + 7

(take 7 from both sides to get rid of +7 on q's side)

p - 7 = 6q + 7 - 7

p - 7 = 6q(divide both sides by 6 to get rid of 6 on q's side)

=

q=

Meg has 26 toy ponies she gets 6 more for her birthday she displays half of them on a shelf and puts the rest in a box how many
otez555 [7]
Because Meg gets an additional 6 ponies, she adds them to her existing 26 ponies. This makes her have 32 ponies.
(CHECK: 26+6=32, 32-6=26)

Since she displays half of her 32, that means 16 of her ponies are on display.
(CHECK: 32/2=16, 16+16=32)

Hopefully this helps!! :)
