Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The left hand side of the equation contains proper fractions while the right hand side of the equation contains mixed fraction. The mixed fraction can be changed to improper fraction. 1 2/3 becomes 5/3

To breakdown the left hand side of the equation, we would take lowest common factor of 5 and 15. It is 15

Considering 4/5, if 15 divides 5,the result is 3. Multiplying 3 by 4 gives 12. So it becomes

12/15

Considering 13/15, if 15 divides 15,the result is 1, Multiplying 1 by 13 gives 13. So it becomes

13/15

The equation becomes

(12 + 13)/15 = 5/3

25/15 = 5/3

Simplifying 25/15 to its lowest terms, it becomes 5/3 so

5/3 = 5/3

Caleb bought groceries and paid

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Price of Caleb's groceries before tax= $6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of groceries before tax be = $ $x$

Sales tax % = 2.5%

Sales tax applied = $2.5\% \ of\ x = \frac{25}{100}\times x = \frac{25}{100} x$

Actual sales tax paid = $1.60

∴ $\frac{25}{100}x=1.60$

Multiplying both sides by 100.

$100\times \frac{25}{100}x=1.60\times 100$

$25x=160$

Dividing both sides by 25.

$\frac{25x}{25}=\frac{160}{25}$

$x=6.4$

∴ Price of groceries before tax= $6.4

One brand of vinegar has a pH of 4.5. Another brand has a pH of 5.0. The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], wh

kiruha [24]

Answer:

2.16 * (10^-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = -log H+

5 = log (1 / H+)

1/ H+ = 10^5

H+ = 10^-5

In a similar fashion the other brand has H+ of 10^-4.5.

So the difference in hydrogen ion concentration = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)

= 2.16 * (10^-5).

A scale drawing has a scale of 0.25 in. : 12 ft. Find the length on the drawing for an actual length of 15 ft.

lesya [120]

If 0.25 in on a drawing is 12 ft in real life, than 1 in on the drawing is 48 ft in real life.

Just divide 15 by 48

15/48=0.3125

So the length of 15 in real life to a drawing is 0.3125 inches.
