Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert \frac{2}{5} to have a denominator of 10.

\frac{2}{5} × \frac{2}{2} = \frac{4}{10}

\frac{3}{10}  + \frac{4}{10}  = \frac{7}{10}

Jeremiah ran \frac{7}{10} of a mile in total.

2. Convert the denominators of all the fractions to have a 10.

\frac{1}{2} × \frac{5}{5} =\frac{5}{10}

\frac{4}{5} × \frac{2}{2}  = \frac{8}{10}

Daniel read \frac{3}{10} more books than Edgar, since 8 books is more than 5 books by 3 books.

3. Convert \frac{1}{4} to have a denominator of 8.

\frac{1}{4} × \frac{2}{2} =  \frac{2}{8}

\frac{2}{8} +\frac{2}{8}= \frac{4}{8}, or\frac{1}{2}

Jared drove \frac{4}{8}, or \frac{1}{2} miles in total.

Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile

Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: \frac{2*2}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.

Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books

Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: \frac{4*2}{5*2} = \frac{8}{10}. For Edgar, that would mean: \frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.

Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)

Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.

What is the simplified form of x minus 2 over x squared plus x minus 6divided byx squared plus 5x plus 4 over x plus 4?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have asked for the simpilfied form of ...

x-\dfrac{2}{x^2}+x-\dfrac{6}{x^2}+5x+\dfrac{4}{x}+4

That would be ...

\dfrac{7x^3+4x^2+4x-4}{x^2}

We suspect that's not what you meant. Parentheses are required for grouping when you write math expressions in text form. They work best using math symbols instead of words. We think you mean

... ((x -2)/(x^2 +x -6))/((x^2 +5x +4)/(x +4))

_____

Maybe you want to simplify ...

\displaystyle\frac{\left(\frac{x-2}{x^2+x-6}\right)}{\left(\frac{x^2+5x+4}{x+4}\right)}=\frac{(x-2)(x+4)}{(x-2)(x+3)(x+4)(x+1)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+3)}=\frac{1}{x^2+4x+3}

<em>Comment on simplifying rational expressions</em>

Division of fractions works the same whether you're working with numbers or polynomials (or anything else). Dividing by something is the same as multiplying by its inverse (reciprocal).

(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c)

I learned this as "invert and multiply". I've recently seen it referred to as "copy dot flip", meaning you copy the numerator, use a dot symbol to indicate multipication, then flip the denominator (make its reciprocal) to become what you're multiplying by.
