Answer:
19/24
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are informed that Lisle bought 3/8 pounds of red grapes and 5/12 pound of green grapes
✓3/8 pounds of red grapes and 5//12
✓First thing to do is to add the fractions
But we need " the least common denominator" because their denominator are not the same, we need to make it the same...
✓ The two denominator ( 8 and 12) are both factor of 24, therefore their "least common denominator" is 24.
✓To make 3/8 pounds of red grapes has a denominator of 24, we multiply both the denominator & numerator with factor of 3.
3/8 = (3×3)/(8×3)=9/24
✓To make 5/12 pounds of green grapes has a denominator of 24, we multiply both the denominator & numerator with factor of 2.
5/12= (5×2)/(12×2)= 10/24
✓ we can see they both have the same denominator, then we can now "add both denominators"
(9+10)=19
✓ Then place the addition of the denominators on the least common denominator.
= 19/24.
Therefore, he bought 19/24 of grapes
There are 5 points in the figure (<em>V</em>, <em>W</em>, <em>X</em>, <em>Y</em>, and <em>Z</em>)
<em>a</em> refers to the line through <em>V</em>, <em>W</em>, and <em>X</em>.
<em>b</em> refers to the line through points <em>Y</em>, <em>W</em>, and <em>Z</em>.
<em>D</em> refers to the plane that contains all 5 points as well as the 2 lines.
Answer:
<h2>
x = 3</h2><h2>
</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
JK + KL = JL
(4x + 3) + (9x + 5) = 47
4x + 9x = 47 - 3 - 5
13x = 39
x = 39 / 13
x = 3
What you're looking at in this image are two alternate exterior angles.
Alternate exterior angles, are, essentially, exterior angles of a transversal that runs through two parallel lines. These angles are on alternating sides. These angles, assuming the lines are parallel, must be equal.
There's a proof behind why these angles are equal, but I won't bore you with the specifics as the question doesn't require it.
So - we know that these two angles must be equal to prove that the lines A and B are parallel. Knowing this, we can write an equation:
5x + 20 = 3x + 60
<u>Subtract 20 from both sides:</u>
5x + 20 - 20 = 3x + 60 - 20
5x = 3x + 40
<u>Subtract 3x from both sides:</u>
5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 40
2x = 40
x = 20
