Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

\frac{y}{3} + \frac{y+3}{5}

The common denominator is 15 ( the LCM of 3 and 5 )

Multiply numerator/ denominator of first fraction by 5

Multiply the numerator/ denominator of second fraction by 3

= \frac{5y}{15} + \frac{3y+9}{15} ← add numerators , leaving denominator of 15

= \frac{5y+3y+9}{15}

= \frac{8y+9}{15}

(b)

Given

\frac{3x}{8} - \frac{x+5}{4}

The common denominator is 8 ( the LCM of 8 and 4 )

Multiply numerator/ denominator of second fraction by 2

= \frac{3x}{8} - \frac{2(x+5)}{8} ← simplify numerators leaving denominator of 8

= \frac{3x-2x-10}{8}

= \frac{x-10}{8}

Answer:

a) (8y + 9)/15.

b) (5x + 10)/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)  y/3 + (y + 3)/5

     The LCD of 3 and 5  is 15 so we have:

     5y/15 + 3(y + 3)/15

      = (5y + 3(y + 3)) / 15

     = (5y + 3y + 9)/15

     = (8y + 9)/15.

b)  3x/8 + (x + 5)/4

     The LCD of 4 and 8  is 8 so we have:

     3x/8 + 2(x + 5)/8

      = (3x + 2x + 10) / 8

      = (5x + 10)/8.

What is 9/10 divided by 3/5
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1 /2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing fractions are relatively easy. One way to do it is multiplying the reciprocal of one of the fractions to the other. So 3/5 would become 5/3. Multiply, 9/10*5/3=45/30. Now that you have the answer you need to simplify which will end up into 1 1/2.

A combined total of $46,000 is invested in two bonds that pay 4% and
valkas [14]


Answer: 4%-16000 and 9.5%-30000

Why:

1) x+y=46000

x=46000-y

2) 4%x+9,5%y=3490;

4x + 9.5y=349000; so 4*(46000-y)+9.5y=349000;

5.5y=165000

y=30000

x=46000-30000=16000

Part a which projectile spends more time in the air, the one fired from 30∘ or the one fired from 60∘? which projectile spends m
bearhunter [10]
The correct answer is the One fired from from 60° . This is because the projectile fired from 60° has a greater vertical velocity compared to the one fired from 30° and therefore spends more time on air. Vertical velocity is the velocity of a body as it moves upwards, it is normally affected by the gravitational acceleration, however it is not affected by the horizontal velocity.
