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.

Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation -7x + 14 = 56 for x.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

-7x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 both sides

-7x + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14

-7x = 42

Divide both sides by -7

(-7x)/(-7) = 42/(-7)

x = -6

Which estimate (rounding to the nearest ten thousand or meet at thousand) is more accurate
wel
Rounding to the nearest thousand
for example, if the number is 104001. ten thousand would be 100000 while rounding to the nearest thousand would be 104000. accurate means closer to the correct answer, and the one rounded to the nearest thousand, 104000 is closer to the correct answer 104001 than the one rounded to ten thousand
