(5/8)+(2/5)=
so you need a common den so in this case its 40
so we multiply to get 40 like
(5/5)(5/8)+ (2/5)(8/8)=
25/40 + 16/ 40 = 41/40
Answer:
5) It was 5/12 of the way full
6) It holds 48 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
For #5, you can simply find the lowest common denominator, which was 12, so you would multiply 3/4 by 3/3 and 1/3 by 4/4, giving you 9/12 and 4/12. Next you would subtract 4 from 9 and get the answer 5/12.
For #6 you can set up the problem as a ratio, 5/12 and 20/x, and then cross multiply, getting the equation 5x = 240. Then divide by 5 and you get the answer 48.
Hope this helps!!
The answer is 1,102.5, to find the area of a triangle you need to multiply LxWxB/2
So if you have 2/3 then it flips so the top number or numberator is in the house (aka dividend)
