Malia bought shell beads and glass beads to weave into designs in her baskets. She bought 1/4 pound of shell beads and 3/8 pound of glass beads. How many pounds of beads did she buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you have to add the weight of each purchase

[tex]\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

But in order to add them together, there has to be a common denominator.

In order to do this, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 2 to get a denominator of 8 as seen below:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}*\frac{2}{2} = \frac{2}{8}[/tex]

Now you can add them to get your final answer: When you are adding fractions with common denominators, simply add the numerators together and keep the denominator.

[tex]\frac{2}{8}+\frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare fractions, we need to make sure that both fractions have the same denominator. For example, for question 4, the least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15, so we need to multiply both fractions by some numbers to get the denominators equal to 15. In this case, we will multiply the first fraction, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] by 3 to get [tex]\frac{9}{15}[/tex] and the second fraction, [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] by 5 to get [tex]\frac{15}{15}[/tex].

Once we have the same denominator, we can simply compare the value of the numerators and see which one is larger. For question 4, since 9 is smaller than 15, the first fraction is smaller than the second. So the correct inequality to represent this would be "<".

To do these sums, we have to first convert them to like fractions.

For the first one:

LCM of denominators 5 and 3 is 15.[tex] \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15} [/tex][tex] \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{15}{15} [/tex]Since,[tex] \frac{9}{15} < \frac{15}{15} [/tex]Therefore,[tex] \frac{3}{5} < \frac{3}{3} [/tex]

For the second sum:

LCM of denominators 6 and 8 is 24.[tex] \frac{4}{6} = \frac{4 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{16}{24} [/tex][tex] \frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{21}{24} [/tex]Since[tex] \frac{16}{24} < \frac{21}{24} [/tex]Therefore,[tex] \frac{4}{6} < \frac{7}{8} [/tex]

For the third one:

LCM of denominators 10 and 5 is 10.[tex] \frac{6}{10} = \frac{6 \times 1}{10 \times 1} = \frac{6}{10} [/tex][tex] \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{4}{10} [/tex]Since,[tex] \frac{6}{10} > \frac{4}{10} [/tex]Therefore,[tex] \frac{6}{10} > \frac{2}{5} [/tex]

Hope you could get an idea from here.

A rectangle’s perimeter is 86in . Its length is 9in longer than its width. Use an equation to find the rectangle’s length and width.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width be x

So length would be x + 9

If perimeter is 86, then

2(l+b) = 86

2(x + x+9) = 86

4x + 18 = 86

4x = 68

X = 17

Check:

2(x + x + 9) = 86

2(17 + 17 + 9) = 86

2(43) = 86

86 = 86

A pipe that is 165 feet long is cut into three parts whose lengths are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 8. Find the length of the longest piece. Longest piece: 2 feet

Answers

Answer:

88 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the shortest piece has length 2x, so the medium piece has length 5x and the longest piece has length 8x. Added together, they equal 165, so

2x + 5x + 8x = 165

15x = 165

divide both sides by 15 to isolate x

x = 11

8x = longest piece = 88 ft

Answers

Applying logarithms, it is found that the earthquake in LA was 251.19 times more intense, and the correct option is A.

The logarithm of the ratio of intensity of two earthquakes of magnitudes [tex]M_1[/tex] and [tex]M_2[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = M_1 - M_2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{I_1}{I_2}[/tex] gives how much more intense earthquake 1 is compared to earthquake 2.

In this problem, [tex]M_1 = 6.2, M_2 = 3.8[/tex], then:

[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = M_1 - M_2[/tex]

[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = 6.2 - 3.8[/tex]

[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = 2.4[/tex]

[tex]10^{\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}}} = 10^{2.4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 251.19[/tex]

Hence, the earthquake in LA was 251.19 times more intense, and the correct option is A.
