5/8 and 2/3 so...
8 times 3 is 24 so now put your fraction over twenty four
15/24=5/8
15/24 so fifteen out of twenty fourths of the package is what she has. She takes ten out of the fifteenths because fifteen divided by three is five then multiply by two is ten. Then divide by five and you get two.
15/24. 10-> 15/24 cause... 15 divided by 3 ( from the two thirds she cooked) is 5 then * by 2... 5*2=10
(x^m) times (x^n)=x^(m+n)
(1/8)^5 times (1/8)^3=(1/8)^(5+3)=(1/8)^8=1/(8^8)
That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
