This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
Answer:
I'm here for that the guy who has answer this is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
I had the same answer in got it right
Solve for w:
p = (1.2 w)/h^2
(1.2 w)/h^2 = (6 w)/(5 h^2):
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2)
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) is equivalent to (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p:
(6 w)/(5 h^2) = p
Multiply both sides by (5 h^2)/6:
Answer: w = (5 h^2 p)/6
Express Movers equation would be y= 25 + .8x
Smith equation would be y= 35 + .6x
if you went 14 miles with Movers, you would go 1 mile with Smith for the same price.
