Answer:
1 1/30 gallons, or 31/30 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Before these fractions can be added together they have to have a common denominator. The Least Common Multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is 30, so
1/3 = 10/30 1/5 = 6/30 1/2 = 15/30
10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30 = 31/30, or 1 1/30
Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the cost of drinks be x
and the cost of hotdogs be y
so
3x+4y=15-------1
also
3x+y= 10.5------2
solve 1 and 2
3x+4y=15
-3x+y= 10.5
3y= 4.5
divide both sides by 3
y= 4.5/3
y= $1.5
Put y= 1.5 in 1
3x+4(1.5)=15
3x+6= 15
3x=15-6
3x= 9
x= 9/3
x= $3
Hence the cost of a drink is $3
