Answer:

10 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mike can pick 50 strawberries in 5 minutes then it is safe to assume that for 1 minute, Mike can pick 10 strawberries since you divide 50 by 5 in which Mike can pick a strawberry for every 6 seconds.

Do you remember that we cannot add fractions when they have unlike denominators? We can onyl add fractions as long as they have the same denominator!

So here's the big idea: fractions must have the same denominator.

If we multiply the first fraction by 2, then both fractions will have the same denominator. *

* <em>Why 2??</em>

<em />

- Because:

We need to find the least common multiple of 3 and 6, which is 6. Next, what should 3 be multiplied by to result in 6? That's right, 2.

Also, we can only multiply the denominator by 2 as long as we multiply the numerator by 2!

So that's why we multiply the whole fraction by 2

$\bf{\cfrac{1\times2}{3\times2}+\cfrac{1}{6}}$

Watch what happens

$\bf{\cfrac{2}{6}+\cfrac{1}{6}}$

Add the numerators

$\bf{\cfrac{2+1}{6}}$

$\bf{\cfrac{3}{6}}$

Simplifying the fractions

$\bf{\cfrac{3\div3}{6\div3}}$

$\bf{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

Find all solutions to the following equation. If there are any extraneous solutions, identify them and explain why they are extr

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

b = 3, which is an extraneous solution because if we replace b = 3 in the equation, we must be 5/0 and 30/0, and there is division by 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{b+3} + \frac{5}{b-3} = \frac{10b}{b^2-9}$

The minus common multiply must be (b-3)*(b+3) = b² - 9

$\frac{7*(b-3)}{b^2-9} + \frac{5*(b+3)}{b^2 -9} = \frac{10b}{b^2-9}$

7b - 21 + 5b + 15 = 10b

2b = 6

b = 3

Which is an extraneous solution because if we replace b = 3 in the equation, we must be 5/0 and 30/0, and there is division by 0. So this solution is invalid.
