Answer:

The simplest form, as a fraction is:

\frac{61}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Though being quite a large amount, this is actually its number, here is why:

3.05 turned into a fraction would look like a mixed fraction:

3\frac{5}{100}

It is \frac{5}{100} because 0.05 is also 5 hundredths.

And 3 is 3.00 because it is a whole number.

Now, you need to reduce or simplify the \frac{5}{100} into:

\frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20}

The reason it is \frac{1}{20} is because:

\frac{5}{100}  

Both the numerator (top of fraction) and denominator (bottom of fraction) can both be divided by 5, which gives you your total of:

\frac{1}{20}

Now, you are left with:

3\frac{1}{20}

But since we are looking for the most simplest fractional form, and not the mixed form, we will need to turn this into a improper fraction.

Which will look like:

\frac{61}{20}

This is how I turned it from a mixed fraction into a improper fraction:

3\frac{1}{20}

(First, multiply 3 by the denominator, which is 20)

3 · 20

= 60

You will now add 1 to 60 and get a sum of:

60 + 1

= 61

(The reason you want to multiply 20 and 3, is because if you have the whole of a denominator, for example:

\frac{20}{20}

it will equal 1, in this case:

if we have 3:

\frac{20}{20} \frac{20}{20} \frac{20}{20}

Then our whole number will be 60 for our numerator and it will look like:

\frac{60}{20}  =  3  

3\frac{1}{20} = \frac{61}{20}

These are actually the same, just in different fractional forms.

From here we will check if we can make

\frac{61}{20}  and more simplified...

I have checked that this is most simplest form, so your answer is:

\frac{61}{20}

Hope that helps!

The cost to a rent paddle boat at the county park is $8 per hour if x represent the number off hours the boat is rented and for
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

10+8x=y

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10$ is added on because it's a one time exchange and the 8 is multiplied by the x because for every hour you add 8$ to the price and y is the total price at the end depending on x.

You make skateboard ramps by cutting pieces from a board that is 12 1/2 feet long.
Stels [109]
The length of the ramp is unknown. 
If 6 ramps were cut from a board that is 12 1/2 feet long, the ramps would be about 2 feet long each which seems like a reasonable answer. The questions regarding how many boards are cut would need the length of the ramps. Lets say that the length is x. You can get 12 1/2 divided by x boards. In order to find out how much is left over, take the number of boards made, multiply it by how long they are. This product is then subracted from 12 1/2.
