Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile
Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom:
. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.
Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books
Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean:
. For Edgar, that would mean:
. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.
Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)
Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
Answer:
80 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
c=d
Substitute 250 in for circumference
250=
d
Divide by
or 3.14
d=79.617...
So, the diameter is approximately 80 feet

The given statement is "nine times five less than twice x".
So, twice of x can be written as 2x and nine times five is 9*5.
Now 9*5 less 2x means we need to take out 9*5 from 2x.
Hence, this statement will be converted into an algebraic expression as follows:
2x-9*5
Answer:
Hey there!
For the first question we use the triangle area formula: 1/2bh, or 1/2(8)(5). This gives us 20 for the area.
For the second question we get a trapezoid, since the cross section does not pass through the vertex.
Hope this helps :)
All you would do is divide 9.99/15 to get how much one pound costs.
The answer would be around 66 or 67 cents.
9.99/15=.666
