A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Giraffe height = 6 feet

Height grew in 7 months= 1.75 feet

Giraffe's height in 7 month = 7.75 feet

Giraffe's height, 1 feet= $\frac{7}{7.75}$ month

= 0.9032 months

Giraffe's height, 15 feet= 0.9032 x 15 month

= 13.548 month

= 13 months 16 days approx.

= 1 year 1 month 16 days

Hence, the age of giraffe will be 1 year, 1 month and 16 days

Simplify

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x-1}{x^2-3x+2}+ \frac{x-2}{x^2-5x+6} +\frac{x-5}{x^2-8x+15}$

we need to simplify that

$x^2-3x+2=(x-1)(x-2)\\\\x^2-5x+6=(x-2)(x-3)\\\\x^2-8x+15=(x-3)(x-5)$

so we can continue

$\frac{x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)}=\frac{1}{x-2}\\\\\frac{x-2}{(x-2)(x-3)} =\frac{1}{x-3}\\\\\frac{x-5}{(x-3)(x-5)} =\frac{1}{x-3}$

and we can put all together

$\frac{1}{x-2}+ \frac{1}{x-3}+ \frac{1}{x-3}\\\\\frac{1}{x-2} +\frac{2}{x-3}\\\\\frac{x-3}{(x-3)(x-2)}+ \frac{2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x-3)} \\\\\frac{x-3+2x-4}{(x-3)(x-2)}\\\\\frac{3x-7}{x^2-5x+6}$
