Answer:

<h2>15 and 75</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

n-second\ number\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}n-first\ number\\\\n-\dfrac{1}{5}n=\dfrac{4}{5}n-difference\ between\ the\ two\ numbers\\\\\text{Equation:}\\\\\dfrac{4}{5}n=60\qquad\text{multiply both sides ny 5}\\\\\not5\cdot\dfrac{4}{\not5}n=(5)(60)\\\\4n=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4\!\!\!\!\diagup n}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{300}{4}\\\\n=75\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}n=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)(75)=\dfrac{75}{5}=15

Peter planted 5/12 of his garden with asparagus and 3/12 with beans.
UkoKoshka [18]
Answer: He has planted 2/3 and there is 1/3 left to plant.

Explanation: You need to add your fractions together, because each of those is a section of the garden and you need the total of how much of the garden he has planted.

This isn’t too difficult because the denominators are the same.

5/12 + 3/12 = 8/12

It is 8/12 because since the denominators are the same, you just need to add the numerators. Imagine you have a pie that’s cut into 12 pieces, and you and your friends take 5, and then your family takes 3. How many or gone now? 8 pieces. From how many pieces? 12 pieces. So 8/12 pieces are gone.

So Peter has planted 8/12 of his garden. This however, can be simplified, because both of those numbers divide by 4.

8/4 = 2
12/4 = 3

So 8 is now 2, and 12 is now 3.

This is now 2/3.

If there is 2/3 gone, you need to figure out how much is left to get you to 1.

In this instance, 1 can be rewritten as 3/3, because 3 divided by 3 is 1.

In order to get from 2/3 to 1, you need to add 1/3, one more third to the two thirds you already have.

This means Peter has 1/3 left to plant.

Hope this helps :)

What is the next fraction in each of the following patterns?1/40,4/40,9/40,16/40,25/40...?
tresset_1 [31]
Let
a1=1/40
a2=4/40
a3=9/40
a4=16/40
a5=25/40
a6=?

we know that
a2-a1=4/40-1/40----> 3/40
a3-a2=9/40-4/40-----> 5/40
a4-a3=16/40-9/40----> 7/40
a5-a4=25/40-16/40---> 9/40

the difference is
3/40,5/40,7/40.9/40,....
3/40+[2/40]---> 5/40
5/40+[2/40]---> 7/40
7/40+[2/40]---> 9/40

the next will be
9/40+[2/40]-----> 11/40
so
the next term is 25/40+[11/40]------> 36/40

the answer is
36/40
