Answer: He has planted 2/3 and there is 1/3 left to plant.
Explanation: You need to add your fractions together, because each of those is a section of the garden and you need the total of how much of the garden he has planted.
This isn’t too difficult because the denominators are the same.
5/12 + 3/12 = 8/12
It is 8/12 because since the denominators are the same, you just need to add the numerators. Imagine you have a pie that’s cut into 12 pieces, and you and your friends take 5, and then your family takes 3. How many or gone now? 8 pieces. From how many pieces? 12 pieces. So 8/12 pieces are gone.
So Peter has planted 8/12 of his garden. This however, can be simplified, because both of those numbers divide by 4.
8/4 = 2
12/4 = 3
So 8 is now 2, and 12 is now 3.
This is now 2/3.
If there is 2/3 gone, you need to figure out how much is left to get you to 1.
In this instance, 1 can be rewritten as 3/3, because 3 divided by 3 is 1.
In order to get from 2/3 to 1, you need to add 1/3, one more third to the two thirds you already have.
This means Peter has 1/3 left to plant.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
t3 = 8, t5 = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
t3 = 2 + (3-1) × 3
t3 = 2 + (2) × 3
t3 = 2 + 6
t3 = 8
t5 = 2 + (5-1) × 3
t5 = 2 + (4) × 3
t5 = 2 + 12
t5 = 14
Answer:
6108795
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the number of ways the committee can be selected :
4 teachers from the 12 teachers available and 3 students from the 43 students available
Using combinatorics :
12C4 * 43C3
recall :
nCr = n! ÷ (n - r)!r!
Using calculator :
12C4 = 495
43C3 = 12341
12C4 * 43C3
495 * 12341
= 6108795

Answer:
$7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
$207 / 18 = $11.50
Each bracelet costs $11.50.
$11.50 - $4 = $7.50
She receives $7.50 for every bracelet she sells.
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
