Answer:
Gerri spends 1/7 (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
If Gerri spends 1/21 of her money on pencils and 2/21 of her money on paper, adding these two fractions together will give us the total fraction of her money that she spent. Since 1/21 and 2/21 have the same denominator, we can add the numerators to get 3/21. However, fractions must always be in simplest form, meaning if the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can both be divided evenly by the same factor, then the fraction can be simplied to lower numbers. In this case the number 3 and the number 21 can both be divided evenly by 3: (3÷3)/21÷3) = 1/7.
12/3 = 4 ft
4x2=8inches
Each side of the rug on the scale drawing would be 8 inches long if 2inches is equivalent to 3 feet.
A. 2, 200, 2000
This is multiplying the number by 10 each time. In other words, just adding an extra zero to the end of it.
b. 340, 0.034
This one is moving the decimal place forward two places. 10^-2, so removing two zeros from the end of it until eventually you reach decimals and have to move the decimal forward twice, which is essentially what you're doing here.
c. 85700, 857, 0.857
In this one, you remove one zero from the end. You move the decimal forward once when you reach the decimals. This would be 10^-1
d. 444000, 4440000, 44400000
In this one, you multiply each one by 10. Add on a zero to each one.
e. 0.095, 9500000, 950000000
You multiply this one by 10^2, so the number increases.
Answer:
74.958
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 57.66 added 30 percent is equal to 74.958
6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
