Answer:

If the denominators are not the same: First, make them the same. Then add or subtract like fractions with the same denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. the second step is to multiply the two denominators. simplify the new fractions. the fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.

to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. if the denominators are already the same then it is just a matter of either adding or subtracting the numerators if the denominators are difrent then a common denominator needs to be found.

What is the constant of proportionality between y/x

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality between y/x you investigate the trend in values of x with corresponding values of y

For this case, when x =1, y=3.5

when x=2, y=7

Taking in case 1, y/x = 3.5/1 = 3.5

In case 2, y/x= 7/2 = 3.5

But you know that the constant of proportionality k is given by;

y=kx------------------------making k subject of formula

y/x=k

Hence in this case, your constant of proportionality is 3.5

Leiff goes online to buy a new video game. He finds a site that currently has a promotion of 15% off on all orders over $50. Lei

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

$119.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Leiff decides to buy his video game, with a price tag of $128, at this site

he will get the 15% discount when he checks out.

100-15= 85%

Discounted price=85% of 128 is $0.85 \cdot 128=108.8$

Leiff pays 5.3% sales tax on the discounted price

5.3% is 0.053

sales tax amount=0.053 times 108.8=5.7664

So we add the sales tax amount and shipping fee

$108.8+5.7664+4.75=119.32$

So $119.32 is the total amount

At 82°F, a certain insect chirps at a rate of 61 times per minute, and at 91°F, they chirp 124 times per minute. Write an equati

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

$y=7x-513$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

y ---->insect chirping rate in times per minute

we have the ordered pairs

(82,61) and (91,124)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{124-61}{91-82}$

$m=\frac{63}{9}=7$

step 2

Find the equation of the line

we know that

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=7$ ---> the units are chirps per minute/degree F

take the point (82,61)

substitute and solve for b

$61=7(82)+b$

$61=574+b$

$b=-513$

substitute

$y=7x-513$
