Answer:

23/18 or 1 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, adding and subtracting fraction required that all fractions are in similar, in converting dissimilar fraction into set of similar fraction requires finding its Least Common Denominator (LCD) or Least Common Multiple (LCM).

Equation Given

5/6 + 4/9

Finding LCM

- List down their multiples

The multiples of 6  = 6 12 18 24

The multiples of 9  = 9 18 27 36

Thus, their Least Common Multiple (LCM) is 18

Converting Dissimilar Fraction into Similar Fraction

The LCM is already the denominator

Divide the LCM by its original denominator then multiply by numerator to get the new numerator

5/6

(18 ÷ 6) × 5 = 15/18, new fraction

4/9

(18 ÷ 9) × 4 = 8/18, new fraction

Evaluate

15/18 + 8/18

= 23/18, or

= 1 5/18

Answer:

Hi, There!

Thanks for choosing Brainly!

<h2>Question</h2>

evaluate: 5/6 + 4/9 =___?​

<h2>Answer</h2><h2>1\frac{5}{18}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5}{6} +\frac{4}{9} =~?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(5/6, 4/9() = 18

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(\frac{5}{6} ~x~\frac{3}{3}) +(\frac{4}{9}~ x~\frac{2}{2}) =~?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

\frac{15}{18} +\frac{8}{18} ~=~?

Then 15 +8 =23

And   18 =       18

which equals the fraction \frac{23}{18} and is the same as 23÷ 18

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 23 ÷ 18 = 1R5, so

1\frac{5}{18}

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1 week=7 days

1/8- canned

rest- dry = 8/8-1/8= 7/8 (1 day)

1 treat (one day)

to find dry food, multiply 7/8 by 7

dry food in a day = 7/8 = 0.875 cup

0.875*7= 6.125 cups a week = 6 and 1/8 cups a week

PLEASE HELP! I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
kompoz [17]

Given :

A graph of Total Meals Packed vs Time( in hours ).

To Find :

How many meals would be packed in 20 hours.

Solution :

First we will find the equation of line.

Now, the line passes through ( 0, 0 ) and ( 4, 500 ).

So, equation of line passing through ( 0, 0 ) and ( 4, 500 ) is :

y - 0 = \dfrac{500-0}{4-0}( x - 0 )\\\\y = 125x

Now, putting the value of x = 20 hours in above equation, we get :

y = 125 × 20 meals

y = 2500 meals

Therefore, number of meals packed in 20 hours is 2500 meals.

A bus takes 2 hrs less for a journey of 300 km, if its speed is increased by 5km/hr from its usual speed, then the usual speed i
LuckyWell [14K]
<h2><u>Solution</u> :-</h2>

Let the usual speed of bus be x km/hr.

Time = Distance / Speed = 300/x hrs

According to the question,

=> (300/x - 2) (x + 5) = 300

=> (300 - 2x)/x (x + 5) = 300

=> 300x + 1500 - 2x² - 10x = 300x

=> 2x² + 10x - 1500 = 0

=> 2(x² + 5x - 750) = 0

=> x² + 30x - 25x - 750 = 0

=> x(x + 30) - 25(x + 30) = 0

=> (x - 25) (x + 30) = 0

=> x = 25 or x = - 30

∴ x ≠ - 30 (Because speed can't be negative)

<u>Hence</u>,

The usual speed of bus = 25 km/hr
