Let's look at the two denominators:
7= 7
4= 4
LCM(7,4)= 4*7= 28
5/7+ 1/4
= (5*4)/ (7*4)+ (1*7)/ (4*7)
= 20/28+ 7/28 (common denominator is 28)
= 27/28
The final answer is 27/28~
Answer:
24 bags = 21 kg
1.142 bag = 1 kg
About 139 bags = 122 kg
You start off with 24 bags that equal the same amount as 21 kg. You need to find out how many bags of sugar equal the same amount as 122 kg. The first line is a ratio and to find your answer you need to figure out what is 1 kilogram equal to in the amount of bags. You divide both sides by 21 leaving 1.142 bag equal to 1 kilogram. In order to find 122 kilograms, you have to multiply both sides by 122 kilograms which would give you about 139 bags = 122 kilograms.
Your final answer: 139 bags

Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left

Cups of soup because there are 16 cups in 1 gallon and if you add half of that it's 8 and 16 Plus 8 is 24
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the initial temperature is 40 degrees and it increases by 10, add the two values together to get the final temperature.
40 + 10 = 50
Therefore, the final answer is 50 degrees.
