How do I add Mixed numbers? Please explain step by step to get brainliest!

Answers

Answer 1

The best way to do this is to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Improper fractions are when the numerator is greater than the denominator. An example of an improper fraction would be 5/4. Since 4/4 is one whole that means 5/4 as a mixed number would be 1 1/4. I'll use the expression 3 1/4 + 5 2/9 as an example.

3 1/4 is 3 wholes and 1/4 left over. We know that 4/4 is 1 whole so to find 3 holes we multiply the 1 by 3. 4 x 3 =12 so there are 12/4 in 3 holes. We then add the leftover 1/4 to get 13/4 as our first number.

For the second number, we have 5 2/9. This one is a bit harder. We know that 9/9 is in one whole, but how do we find how many are in 5 wholes? We can use multiplication. 1x 5=5. 5 x 9 =45. That means we have 45/9 in 5 holes. Add the leftover 2/9 to have 47/9 as our 2nd number.

Now that we have these two improper fractions, what do we do with them? The two numbers we are working with are 13/4 and 47/9. We need to find the common denominator. The common denominator is when both fractions have the same bottom number. If two fractions have different denominators we cannot add them.

To make the denominators the same, let's find a common multiple. A common multiple is a number that is a product of all chosen numbers. This is kind of confusing but another way to think of a common multiple is a number that is divisible by all chosen numbers. Take the two denominators and multiply them. 9x4=36. 36 is a common multiple of both 9 and 4 because both of them can go into 36 without being a decimal or a fraction.

To convert the fractions we multiply again. Whatever you do to one side you must always do to the other. In 13/4 we multiplied 4x9 to get 36. So now we multiply the numerator 13x9 to get 117. That means we have 117/36. We multiplied 9x4 to also get 36. So our numerator for our second number is 47x4=188 or 188/36.

Now we have 117/36 and 188/36. We add them together like normal and get 305/36. In some cases you'd need to simplify it, but for the example equation I used this is already the fraction's lowest form. I hope this helped! Comment if you need another example or have any questions! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Same: 30×40 = 1200 . . . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 2 in the product

Different: 20×50 = 1000 . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 3 in the product

Different: 0.2×0.4 = 0.08 . . . no zeros in the factors; 1 zero in the product after the decimal point

_____

For a product, the number of zeros will be different if the combined factors of the numbers increase the number of factors of 10 beyond the sum of the factors of 10 of the numbers being multiplied.

Example: neither 2 nor 5 has a factor of 10, but their product does.

__

For a product that is a decimal fraction, the number of leading zeros will increase if the product of the mantissas of the numbers is less than 10. The number of trailing zeros will increase under the conditions discussed above. (0.25×0.4 = 0.100)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of choices is 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 1296

You have one chance to get it right

That's 1/1296 = 0.00077

Answer:

1/1296

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilty of getting one of the dials correct is 1/6 because there are 6 letters on each dial. So if there are 4 dials, then the chance is multiplied by itself 4 times (1/6 * 1/6 *1/6 * 1/6). 1/6 * 1/6 *1/6 * 1/6 is equal to 1/1296.

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 and 1/6 are fractions.

As we directly can't add fractions whenever denominators are different, so we will have to find out the Least common multiple of 4 and 6.

The LCM Of 4&6 will be 12, so we will write 12 instead of 4&6.

Now, 4*3=12, that is why we will have to multiply the numerator and denominator with 3.

1*3/4*3 = 3/12

Same thing applies to 1/6. In order to get 12 in the denominator we need to multiply 2 with numerator and denominator both.

1*2/6*2= 2/12

However, we have two new fractions with same denominator now, that is 3/12 and 2/12

We can directly add the numerators now, as we have the same denominator. So 3+2/12= 5/12 would be my final answer. (addition of like fractions)

Answers

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, you plot the solution to an inequality by placing a dot at the bound, then extending a line in the direction indicated by the inequality.

If the inequality symbol is < or >, the dot will be an open circle.

If the inequality symbol is ≤ or ≥, the dot will be a solid dot. That is the kind of dot needed here.

The boundary (dot) location for x ≥ -8 is at -8 on the number line. The inequality indicates that values of x greater than that are in the solution set, so the line will be shaded to the right of the dot.

The boundary (dot) location for x ≤ -2 is at -2 on the number line. The inequality indicates that values of x less than that are in the solution set, so the line will be shaded to the left of this dot.

Since the values of x must satisfy both inequalities (the conjunction is "and"), the solution set is where the lines overlap—between -8 and -2 on the number line.

effectively shows you that the number line is shaded between solid dots at -8 and -2.

There are two spheres; the radius of the big sphere is two times the radius of the small sphere. How many times larger is the volume of the big sphere compared to the small one?

Answers

The volume of the bigger sphere is 8 times larger than the volume of the smaller sphere.

The formula of the volume of a sphere is given below

⇒ Formula:

V = 4/3(πr³)................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

V = Volume of the spherer = radius of the sphereπ = constant called pie

From the question, There are two spheres.

If the radius of the bigger sphere is two times the radius of the smaller sphere.

R = 2r

⇒ Where

R = bigger radiusr = smaller radius

For the bigger sphere

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 4/3(π(2r)³)V = 4/3(π8r³)............. Equation 2

  For the smaller sphere,

V' = 4/3(πr³)............... Equation 3

⇒ Comparing equation 2 and equation 3

V = 8V'

Hence, The volume of the bigger sphere is 8 times larger than the volume of the smaller sphere.

LCM of two numbers is 1134 and HCF is 18. if one of the numbers is 162, find the other. number.

Answers

Answer:  126

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

Work Shown:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

We're given x = 162 and the variable y is unknown.

We're also given LCM = 1134 and HCF = 18

So,

LCM = (x*y)/HCF

1134 = 162*y/18

1134 = (162/18)y

1134 = 9y

9y = 1134

y = 1134/9

y = 126

The other number is 126

---------------------

Notice that

162 = 18*9126 = 18*7

showing that 18 is the highest common factor (HCF) of the numbers 162 and 126. This partially confirms the answer.

Now let,

A = multiples of 162B = multiples of 126

So,

A = 162, 324, 486, 648, 810, 972, 1134, 1296, ...B = 126, 252, 378, 504, 630, 756, 882, 1008, 1134, 1260, ...

We see that 1134 is in each list of multiples and the smallest such common item. So the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 162 and 126 is 1134. This helps fully confirm the answer.

The length of a rectangular garden is 30 yards more than the width. The perimeter is 300 yards. Find the length and width

Answers

Answer:

Length is 90yards and width is 60yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 2( length+width)

let the width be x

then the length will be 30 + x

300 = 2(30+x+x)

150 = 30 + 2x

120= 2x

x = 120/2

x = 60 yards

length= 30+x

= 30 + 60

= 90yards

Answers

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7 part of the ratio relates to Taylor's 84 CDs

Divide the amount by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

84 ÷ 7 = 12 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

9 parts = 9 × 12 = 108 ← number of CDs Dave has

Step-by-step explanation:)

100 BACTERIA to start

1Hour = 50% of the start (which is 100 so half would be 50) this suggest 100+50= 150

2hour = 50% of 150 which is 75 and this suggest

150+75= 225

3 hour = 50% of 225 which is 112.5 this suggest

225+112.5=337.5

4hours = 50% of 337.5 which is 168.75 this suggest

337.5 + 168.75=506.25
