First thing to do, when you have to add 2 fractions, you have to make both denominators equal. 14/6 = 0.84, so can't multiply or divide any fraction by a whole number to get the other denominator.
So, you multiply each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Which means that you multiply 5/14 by the denominator of 1/6 which is 6, and you multiply 1/6 by the denominator of 5/14 which is 14.
5/14 + 1/6 = 30/84 + 14/84
Then you join both fractions to make them under one denominator, since both denominators are equal.
30/84 + 14/84 = (30+14)/84 = 44/84.
Now, you need to simplify the fraction: you divide both numerator and denominator by 4:
44/84 = 11/21
So 5/14 + 1/6 = 11/21
Hope this Helps! :)
To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds: 3 x
Cost: 25.50 42.50
Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50
we know that
the car gets 18 miles per -----------> 1 gallon of gasoline
so
for 543 miles ---------------------> x gallons of gasoline
by proportion
543/18=x/1---------->x=543/18------->x=30.17 gallons
therefore
the answer is
30.17 gallons
