Answer:
360 people in 3 hours. 120 people per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
How many times do 20 minutes go into 3 hours?
Well, 60 min. ÷ 20 min. = 3
So, 3 x 3 = 9
So 40 people went on the ride each 20 minutes. And there are (3) 20 minutes in every hour.
So 3 hours would be 9 x 40 = 360
120 people per hour because 40 x 3 = 120
and 20 minutes (3) times equals 1 hour.
I have to rewrite the expressions because they look very confusing.
1) The given fractions to add are:
4p² + 6 2p - 2
------------ + ------------
4p² 10p²
2) The statements to asses are:
<span>A) The least common denominator is 20p
.
B) The first fraction rewritten with the LCD is (20p² +30) / 20p²
C) The second fraction rewritten with the LCD is (4p - 4) / 20p
D) The sum is (24p² -4p +30 ) / 20p² = (12p-2p+15) / 10p^2
E) The sum is a rational expression.
This is the result for each statement.

<span>A) The least common denominator is 20p
FALSE: THE LCD IS 20p², because it the least expression that contains all the prime factors of both denominators: 4p² and 10p.
See that you cannot divide 20p by 4p² but you can divide 20p² by 4p² and 10 p. So, 20p is not a common denominator.
.
B) The first fraction rewritten with the LCD is (20p² +30) / 20p²
TRUE: you get this expression from the first fraction by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 20p² / 4p² = 5:
(4p² + 6)×5 = 20p² + 30
(4p²)×5 = 20p²
=>
20p² + 30
--------------
20p²
C) The second fraction rewritten with the LCD is (4p - 4) / 20p
FALSE: you have to multiply both numerator an denominator by 20p² / 10p = 2p
(2p - 2) × 2p = 4p² - 4p
10p × 2p = 20p²
So, the second fraction rewritten with the LCD is:
4p² - 4p
-----------
20p²
D) The sum is (24p² - 4p +30 ) / 20p² = (12p-2p+15) / 10p²
TRUE
</span>
<span><span> 20p² + 30 4p² - 4p 24p² - 4p + 30
-------------- + --------------- = ----------------------
20p² 20p² 20p²</span>
And when you simplify the last fraction dividing by 2 you get:
12p² - 2p + 15
-----------------------
10p²
E) The sum is a rational expression.
TRUE:
The sum of rational number has the closure property which means that by adding rational expression you will always ge a rational expression.

(x+5)(x-5)
= x^2 - 5x + 5x - 25
= x^2 - 25
(5x+3)(5x-3)
= 25x^2 - 15x + 15x - 9
= 25x^2 - 9
do you see the pattern? both the coefficient on x and constant multiply together to make a perfect square and the middle term, also known as "b" term cancels out leaving a binomial
