Hello there!
For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!
The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.
So:
1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12
2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12
Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).
When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).
So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours
Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)
Hope this helped!

I think the answer to this is .6 or 1.7
B is te correct my friend
Answer:
Equation of parabola: 8*(y - 2) = (x - 3)^2
or
y = (1/8)*(x - 3)^2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
focus at (3,4) and its directrix y = 0.
Focus equation: (h, k + c) = (3, 4)
Directrix equation y = k - c = 0
so h = 3, k + c = 4, k - c = 0
Solve the system : k + c = 4 and k - c = 0
add the equations together: k + c + k - c = 4 + 0
2k = 4
k = 2
so k + c = 4, 2 + c = 4, c = 2
4c (y - k) = (x - h)^2
4*2 *(y - 2) = (x - 3)^2
8*(y - 2) = (x - 3)^2
