Answer:
-1311
Step-by-step explanation:
1316 + x = 5
Subtract 1316 from both sides:
1316 - 1316 + x = 5 - 1316
On the left side they cancel out and we are left with:
x = 5 - 1316
Which simplifies to:
x = -1311
The answer to that question is the sum of the hours he studied for on both days, which will be 1/4 + 3/8.
However, we cannot add fractions with different denominators. In this case, it's 4 and 8.
So if we want to add them, we must make the denominators similar to each other. How to make 4 into 8? We multiply it by 2: 4 x 2 = 8.
BUT when we multiply fractions, we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number to keep its original value. In this case, if you want to multiply 4 by 2, you must also multiply 1 by 2.
=> SO to make 1/4 into y/8, we will multiply it like this (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8
Now we can add the 2 fractions together. 2/8 + 3/8 = (2 + 3)/8 = 5/8. THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.
TL;DR: He studied 5/8 (or 0.625) hour altogether on both days.
The area is 18 units squared, I believe.
the rate for 5 cans for $3.70 is 0.74
the rate for 10 cans for $4.10 is 0.41
so the better buy is 10 cans for $4.10 at sams
