Explain why we need to have a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.

Answer in paragraph form using complete sentences and include any calculations, graphs, and labeled diagrams as appropriate.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer

If you didn't it there wouldn't be an easy method to do the problem.Having the same denominator is the easiest method and is pretty basic.If you didn't have a common denominator such as:5/8 + 7/6, it would be virtually impossible to solve.

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.

a) The regular price of a T-shirt is $18. What is the discount price?

b) If the regular price of an item is dollars, what is the discount price in dollars? Write an expression.

c) The discount price of a hat is $18. What is the regular price?

Answers

Answer:

a. $14.4

b. $18 • .2 = $3.6

c. $21.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Make the 20% a decimal, and multiply by the regular price. Then, subtract that and you'll get the discounted price.

18 • .2 = 3.6

18-3.6 = $14.4

b. Use the equation multiplying the 20% as a fraction here.

c. Multiply $18 by .2 (the discount). Then, add that to the discount price ($18).

18 • .2 = 3.6

3.6 + 18 = $21.6

The table below shows field goal statistics for three different kickers. Order the kickers by their field goal success rate from least to greatest. I have added a picture of the graph.

Answers

Answer:

Kicker C, kicker B, and then kicker A

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide the field goals made by field goals attempted to get the success rate. A = 12 / 14 = 0.857      B = 15 / 18 = 0.83      C = 19 / 24 = 0.79

0.79 < 0.83 < 0.857

Ross has a model truck. It has a scale of 1 inch for every 32 inches on a real-sized truck. He wants to build a garage for the model at the same scale.

Given that the garage for a real-sized truck is 12 feet wide, how wide should his model garage be?

Answers

Answer in decimal form:  4.5 inches

Answer as a mixed number = 4 & 1/2 inches

========================================================

Explanation:

" It has a scale of 1 inch for every 32 inches on a real-sized truck" means the the scale is 1:32

Put another way, the real life width is 32 times greater than the scale model.

So we can form the equation

y = 32x

where x is the scale model width and y is the actual real life width.

---------

The garage in the real world is 12 feet wide, or 12*12 = 144 inches wide.

Plug y = 144 into the equation and solve for x

y = 32x

32x = y

32x = 144

x = 144/32

x = 4.5

His scale model garage must be 4.5 inches wide

4.5 inches = 4 & 1/2 inches = 4 and a half inches

Answer:

4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert all measurements to the mase units

12 feet  ->  144 in

Now, we will identify what 144 inches would be as a model scale. We will do so by dividing 144/32 since 32inches equals 1 model scale inch.

144/32= 4.5

therefore, the garage will be 4.5 inches as a model scale.

I need in form of y=mx+b Thank you!

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equation of the line be y = mx + b

Since the line is perpendicular to y = 1/2x - 10,

product of the gradient of both lines = -1

therefore,

1/2 x m = -1

m = -2

since it passes through (4, -5),

sub (4, -5):

-5 = -2(4) + b

b = 3

therefore, equation of the line is y = -2x + 3

2 packages because there is 10 family members and each package brings 5 so if it brings 5 then 2 packages would be 10. there are 10 family members so each family member will have a noise maker
