How many different ways can you write a fraction that has a numerator of 2 as a sum of fractions? Explain.

Mathematics
1 answer:
zhenek [66]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5

1/7 + 1/7 = 2/7

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

There are an infinite number of these fractions. They must be 1 and 1 in the numerator, and the denominator must be relatively prime  to 2. The examples I have picked are prime in the denominator, but the rule is not without many exceptions. For example

1/9 + 1/9 = 2/9

I don't think you can pick an even denominator because it will reduce when put with two.  Oh wait 2/18 + 2/18 = 4/18 = 2/9 But these could be reduced before adding. Still, it might count. It depends on who is marking the question.

What about an odd and even denominator?

1/9 + 1/18 = 3/18 = 1/6  There must be something that works, but I can't come up with an example.

How do I solve this?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

10a + 2b

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the lengths of all sides:

3a + b + b + 2a - b + 3a + b + b + 2a - b

Now combine like terms:

10a + 2b

Irina rode her bike to work at an average speed of 16 miles per hour. It started to rain, so she got a ride home along the same
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Irina was able to make the same distance from work to home in 0.4 of an hour at 27 miles per hour, we can use this rate and time to find the distance she travels to and from work using the general formula:

d = rt, where d=distance, r = rate and t = time

d = 27(0.4) = 10.8 miles

Since the distance from Irina's home to work is 10.8 miles, we can again use the formula 'd = rt' to find the time it takes her to bike to work at a rate of 16 miles per hour and solving for time, 't':

10.8 = (16)t

t = 0.7 hours

In the sequence 3 8 13 18 what term of the series is the number 2218
77julia77 [94]
By clearly looking at the sequence there are in Arithmetic Progression
So for finding which term is 2218 in that sequence
we have  x_{n} = a+ (n-1)d
Here,
a=3
 x_{n}=2218 & d=5(by looking at the sequence given)
by substituting those values we get our desired result
2218=3+(n-1)5
2218-3=(n-1)5
2215=(n-1)5
2215/5=n-1
453=n-1
n=454
so 454 term is 2218

In 1963, the United States Postal Service started using ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) codes. Each ZIP code is a sequence of five d
bija089 [108]
Here is how you find the number of possible U.S Zip codes. 
<span>Take note of this: There are 10 1 digit numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
</span>And we have 5 slots. So in each slot, there can be 10 possible numbers. 
So let's put 10 in each blank slot. 
10, 10, 10, 10, 10.
Therefore, the final answer would be 100,000. There are 100,000 possibilities of different U.S zip codes. Hope this answer helps.
