Like fractions are fractions with the same denominator. You can add and subtract like fractions easily - simply add or subtract the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator.
Before you can add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find equivalent fractions with the same denominator, like this:
1.Find the smallest multiple (LCM) of both numbers.
2.Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCM as the denominator.
When working with fractions, the LCM is called the least common denominator (LCD)
Answer:
80000 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter + dividing fence = 800
let a = length
let b = width
let c = length of dividing fence
perimeter = 2*a + 2*b
let's say...
c is the same as the length
2a + 2b + c = 800
2a + 2b + a = 800
3a + 2b = 800
area = length*width
area = a*b
area / b = a
3*(area/b) + 2b = 800
3*(area/b) = 800 - 2b
area/b = (800 - 2b)
area = (800 - 2b)*b
To make the area large, we make the right hand side large.
800b - 2b^2
If you put in terms of x, y it looks like a downward opening parabola, so the max area is at the vertex. Half way between the roots.
y = -2x^2 + 800x
y = -x^2 + 400x
0 = x*(-x + 400)
roots are x= 0 and x = 400
vertex is at x, aka b = 200
area at b=200 is (800 - 400)*200 = 80000
and a is area/b... 80000/400 = 200
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x5x7=70
Answer:
n ≥ 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pages = 370
Read pages = 20
Number of days remaining = 7
Reading rate per day = n
7n + 20 ≥ 370
7n ≥ 370 - 20
7n ≥ 350
n ≥ 350/7
n ≥ 50 pages per day for the remaining 7 days
Again, a^2+b^2=c^2
c=10
b=9
10 squared is 100
9 squared is 81
100-81=19
The square root of 19, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is 4.36
