Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 + 1/4
To add these fractions, you need a lowest common denominator. Both 4 and 8 "go into" 8, so the lowest common denominator is 8.
In order to change the denominator 4 to 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. So, 1/4 becomes 2/8.
Now, the problem is 3/8 + 2/8.
You can add the numerators, because the denominator is the same for each fraction.
3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
Let A represent the amount Ann contributed, Z represent Zoe's contribution, and J represent Jim's contribution toward the present.
Ann (A): A
Zoe (Z): A = Z - 12 → Z = 12 + A
Jim (J): A = J - 16 → J = 16 + A
A + Z + J = 154
(A) + (12 + A) + (16 + A) = 154
3A + 28 = 154
3A = 126
A = 42
Ann (A): A = 42
Zoe (Z): Z = 12 + A = 12 + 42 = 54
Jim (J): J = 16 + A = 16 + 42 = 58
Answer: Ann=42, Zoe=54, Jim=58
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, turn the word problem into an equation:
n(a number) was divided by 2
followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4
*4
the product was added to 9
*4+9
the total sum was 25
*4+9 = 25
use PEMDAS to solve the equation
subtract 9 on both sides
*4 = 16
cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization
n*2 = 16
divide 2 on both sides
n = 8
Song A has 1 .10 beats/second and song B has 1.16 beats/second so it is song a.
