Answer: -4/15
Step-by-step explanation: To add these two fractions together,
we start by finding their <em>Least Common Denominator</em> (LCD).
Since our denominators of 5 and 3 have no factors in common,
our least common denominator is 5 · 3 or 15.
In order to get a denominator of 15 in each fraction,
we multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by 3
and top and bottom of the second fraction by 5.
That gives us -9/15 + 5/15 which simplifies to -4/15.
As your last step, make sure that the fraction
that you end up with doesn't reduce.
In this case, -4/15 does not reduce but watch out for this last step.
tenth place: 18.2
hundredth place: 18.19
one place: 18
tens place: 20
hundred place: 0
I didn't know which one you needed so I did a bunch
You can use rounding to figure this problem out. If the number in the ones place is 0 to 4, round down to the nearest tens place; if the number in the ones place in 5 to 9, round up to the nearest tens place.
48 rounds to 50.
42 rounds to 40.
69 rounds to 70.
21 rounds to 20.
52 rounds to 50.
Now use mental math to estimate the cost (50 + 40 + 70 + 20 + 50). Heather will spend about $230.
Answer:
D) $230
5 - 1 2/9 = 3 7/9
Hope this helps!
