To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15.
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.

Answer:
3680
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we would subtract. But, first we have to find the percent. But, we all use calculators so, it is 920. Saves us a lot of time.
4600 - 920 = 3680
Therefore your answer is 3680
Hope this helps!
You only have to apply the theorem of Pythagoras here. Remember the square on the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides :
1. AB is the hypotenuse, so, according to the theorem we can write :
AB² = AC² + CB²
c² = 5² + 4²
c²= 25 + 16
c² = 41
applying the square root of 41 we get :
c ≈ 6.40 rounded to the hundred
The next cases are exactly the same thing so there is no need for explanation :
2.
AB is the hypotenuse here because it is the biggest side clearl :
AB² = AC² + CB²
25² = 15² + b²
Thus
b² = 25² - 15²
we just subtracted 15² on each side of the equation
b² = 625 - 225
b² = 400
applying the square root of 400 we get
b = √400 = 20
So AC = 20
3. The longest side is clearly AB = 60
So
AB² = AC² + CB²
60² = 40² + a²
subtracting 40² on each side of the equation we get :
a² = 60² - 40²
I let you finish this using your calculator and doing exactly like the previous cases
4.
AB is the hypotenuse,
AB² = AC² + CB²
23² = b² + 14²
Subtracting 14² from each side of the equation we get
b² = 23² - 14²
5.
AB is the biggest side :
AB² = AC² + CB²
29² = 23² + a²
We subtract 23² on each sides of the equation :
a² = 29² - 23²
You can finish with your calculator
6.
AB² = AC² + BC²
78² = b² + 30²
subtraction...
b² = 78² - 30²
Good luck :)
The answer to the question is it would add twenty seven every two times it goes up
