To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15.
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.
Hope I helped!
Option A : a+o = 92 , 4a+2o = 284 is the right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let o be the number of oranges sold on Friday and
a be the number of apples sold on Friday
So,
A total of 92 was sold on Friday will yield the equation
On Saturday,
4 times the number of apples = 4a
2 times the number of oranges = 2o
So,
Hence,
The system of equations is:
Option A : a+o = 92 , 4a+2o = 284 is the right answer
