Answer:

8/40 + 20/40 = 28/40

Step-by-step explanation:

It's about finding the common denominator for the fractions.

we can easily see that 40 is a common denominator for denominators 10 and 4. 20 would work too, but 40 is "instantly seen".

2/10 = (2*4) / (10*4) = 8/40

2/4 = (2*10) / (4*10) = 20/40

8/40 + 20/40 = (8+20) / 40 = 28/40

So you make them the same common denominator
As you see, 2/10 = 8/40
2/4 = x/40, multiply by 10
2/4 = 20/40
Then add because same denominator
Now you would get:
8/40 + 20/40 = 28/40

The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the fifth term is 26.If the first term is a1,which is an equation for the nth

dexar [7]

Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.

n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10 OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK

n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42

So the answer is B

Sammy bought 15.3 Liters of milk. She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles. There was 0.35 liters of milk left over. Calculate

Zanzabum

Answer:

The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Sammy bought 15.3 liters of milk

∵ She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles

∵ There were 0.35 liters of milk leftover

→ At first, subtract the leftover from the quantity she bought to

find the capacity of the five bottles

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 15.3 - 0.35

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 14.95 liters

→ To find the capacity of each bottle divide the total capacity by 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 14.95 ÷ 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 2.99 liters

∴ The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters

Y=x+5<br> 4x+y=20<br> Solving system by substitution

sineoko [7]

Y = x + 5....so we sub in x + 5 for y in the other equation

4x + y = 20
4x + x + 5 = 20
5x + 5 = 20
5x = 20 - 5
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3

y = x + 5
y = 3 + 5
y = 8

solution is (3,8)

Barney's Book Store currently has 2000 books in stock. There are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books. Determine t

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Number of books = 2000

Let the number of fiction books be 'x'.

Now given:

There are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books.

Number of non fiction books = $3x$

We need to find the number of non-fiction and fiction books.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Total Number of books is equal to sum of the number of non-fiction and fiction books.

framing in equation form we get;

$x+3x=2000\\\\4x=2000$

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{2000}{4}\\\\x= 500\ books$

Number of fiction books = 500

Number of non fiction books = $3x=3\times 500 =1500$

Hence There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.

If the area of a square is 36 inches what is the length of one side?

Pavel [41]

To find the length of a square given the area, we just need to take the square root of the area given. The sqrt of 36 is 6, so each side is 6 inches. :)
