So when you are adding fractions how do you know when you need to simplify the numbers and how do you simplify?

Let's look at an example.

We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8

Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.

To get the denominators to be the same, we can...

  • multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
  • multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48

At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so

8/48  + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48

Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.

The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.

  • 14/2 = 7
  • 48/2 = 24

The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24

Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24

What are the possible values of x if (4c-5)^2= 49?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

c = 3                              c = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4c-5)^2= 49

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((4c-5)^2)= ±qrt(49)

4c-5 = ±7

Separate into two equations

4c-5 = 7           4c-5 = -7

Add 5 to each side

4c-5+5 = 7+5          4c-5+5 =-7+5

4c =12                         4c = -2

Divide by 4

4c/4 = 12/4                     4c/4 = -2/4

c = 3                              c = -1/2

Forty-two of the students in band own their instrument.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

112 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of students in the band.

From the question,

We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students

The total number of students can calculated for as follows:

37.5% x T = 42

37.5/100 x T = 42

Cross multiply to express in linear form

37.5 x T = 100 x 42

Divide both side by 37.5

T = (100 x 42) /37.5

T = 112

Therefore, there are 112 students in the band

Need help asap need it thenext few minutes
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Correct Option is d (x+3)^2 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

For completing the square our equation should be in the form of a^2 +2ab + b^2 = (a+b)^2

In the given equation we have:

x^2 +6x -2\\x^2 + 2(x) (?) +(?)^2 = 2\\for\,\, making\,\, 6x\,\, 2*x*3=6x \\so, \,\,we\,\, can\,\, add\,\, and\,\, subtract\,\, (3)^2 \,\,on\,\, both\,\, sides\\x^2 + 2(x) (3) +(3)^2 -(3)^2= 2\\(x+3)^2 -9 =2\\(x+3)^2 =2+9\\(x+3)^2 = 11

Correct Option is d (x+3)^2 = 11
