One and a half plus 1/8 =?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1/2+1/8=5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(1/2, 1/8) = 8

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(1/2×4/4)+(1/8×1/1)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

4/8+1/8=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

4+1/8=5/8

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

1/2+1/8=5/8

Hope this helps!!

Farmer Ed has 8500 meters of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a river. If farmer Ed does not fenc
Illusion [34]
Let x and y be width and length of the plot to be fenced. Therefore,

Area (A) = xy m^2

If the side bordering the river is x, then
Circumference (C) = 8500 = x+2y => x = 8500-2y

Substituting for w in the equation for A;
A = (8500-2y)y = 8500y -2y^2

For maximum area, derivative of A with respect to y is 0. That is;
dA/dy = 0 = 8500 -4y => 4y = 8500 => y = 8500/4 = 2125 m
And, x = 8500-2y = 8500 -2*2125 = 4250 m

Therefore,
One side = 4,250 m and second side = 2,125 m.
Largest area, A = 4250*2125 = 9,031,250 m^2

PointJ-2.1) and point K(45) form line segment JR. For the point P that partions JK in the ratio 3.7, what is the y-coordinate of
inessss [21]
The coordinates of point P would be (2.6, 1.6).

The ratio of the sides being 3:7 means that the segment JP would be 3/10 of the total and PK would be 7/10 of the segment.  

The slope of JK is given by finding the rise/run; in this case that is 4/2=2.  Since JP is 3/10 of the segment, we add 3/10 of the rise to the x-coordinate and 3/10 of the run to the y-coordinate:

(3/10(2)+2, 3/10(2)+1)
=(6/10+2, 6/10+1)
=(2.6, 1.6)
