Please answer the following essay question:

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: The denominator of a fraction tells you the relative size of the pieces. Therefore, the reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size.

Answer 2

Answer:

We need to have a common denominator in order to subtract different fractions because if we have an example like.

5/2 - 6/8 we cannot do that because the denominator is not alike.

We have to use multiplication to help us here.

2 x 8 = 16 !

So. no we have 5/16

so now we do 5 x 8 = 40

So now my new fraction is - 40/16 BUTTTT 40/16 is an improper fraction. so 40/16 = 5/2

Now we are back at the square 1 so now we have to fix 6/8.

8 x 6 = 48

6 x 6 = 36.

--

2 x 24 = 48.

5 x 24 = 120 or 12

now we have 12/48 and  36/48.

We can subtract now!

Hope this helped for problems like this.

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.

D. 160

Answers

It would be B. 120 you would usually round up but the closest one to 129.02083 is 130 and since there is no 130 it would be 120

The best estimate for 6,193 ÷ 48 using compatible numbers is 120. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Given that, 6,193 ÷ 48.

What is the division?

The division is one of the basic arithmetic operations in math in which a larger number is broken down into smaller groups having the same number of items.

Here, the number 6,193 can be rounded off to 6000 and the number 48 can be rounded off to 50.

So, 6,193 ÷ 48

= 6000 ÷ 50

= 120

The best estimate for 6,193 ÷ 48 using compatible numbers is 120. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 2 plus 5

Answer:

x = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5 > 50.

We do inverse operations sooo:

2x + 5 - 5 > 50 - 5.

50 - 5 = 45.

Then we do 2x ÷ 2 and 45 ÷ 2.

45 ÷ 2 = 22.5.

To check our answer to see if its right we do 22.5 x 2 which equals 45. Then we do 45 + 5 which equals 50. So the sign is wrong it should be greater than or equal to.

A Rube Goldberg machine consists of a series of devices that perform a simple task. Kate is drawing a scale model of her Rube Goldberg machine, which she plans to build and enter into a contest. A bicycle wheel on the scale model is 2 inches in diameter, while in the actual machine, it will be 28 inches in diameter.

Question 1
Part A

Based on the measures of the wheel diameter, what is the unit rate of inches of machine per inch of the model?

Answers

Answer:

The unit rate is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate of the machine is given as 14 inches per model.

What is Unitary method?

In order to solve a problem for two different values of a quantity, its unit value is first derived. This method is known as unitary method.

Given that,

The diameter of bicycle wheel on the scale model is 2 inch.

And, the diameter in actual machine is 28 inch.

The unit rate of the machine can be found by using unitary method as follows,

For 2 inch diameter on scale model, diameter in machine = 28 inch

For 1 inch diameter on scale model, diameter in machine = 28/2 inch

                                                                                                = 14 inch.

Hence, the unit rate of inches of machine per inch of the model is 14 inches per model.

Josh should buy the pick-up truck load because 2,500 ÷ 150 = 16 23. There is enough gravel to

What are the domain and range of f(x) = 21?

Answers

The domain and the range of a function, are the set of values the function can take as input and output.

The domain and the range of [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 21}[/tex] are:[tex]\mathbf{(-\infty,\infty)}[/tex] and 21, respectively.

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 21}[/tex]

There is no restriction as to the value of x.

So, the domain is:

[tex]\mathbf{Domain = (-\infty,\infty)}[/tex]

Irrespective of what the value of x is, the value of y will remain 21.

So, the range is;

[tex]\mathbf{Range = 21}[/tex]

Hence, the domain and the range of [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 21}[/tex] are:[tex]\mathbf{(-\infty,\infty)}[/tex] and 21, respectively.

(2) If da Vinci did have exotropia, in which an eye turns outward, he would not have been the only artist in history with that condition.(3) Christopher Tyler, a visual neuroscientist at City University of London, noticed a pattern in da Vincis portraits and in works depicting the great artist. (4) While few self-portraits of da Vinci exist, Tyler argues that many of da Vincis portraits reflect his appearance. (5) As the great artist himself said, the soul guides the painters arm and makes him reproduce himself, since it appears to the soul that this is the best way to represent a human being.(6) To test his theory that da Vinci had exotropia, Tyler studied the eye alignments of the subjects of six pieces of art that purportedly depict the Renaissance artist himself, including da Vincis Vitruvian Man and Salvator Mundi and Andrea del Verrocchios sculpture David. (7) The results confirmed Tylers suspicions: da Vinci likely had exotropia, with one eye turning out at -10.3 degrees.(8) Tylers findings, which he published in JAMA Ophthalmology, created a stir in both the art and science communities. (9) Only about 1 percent of the population has exotropia, yet previous studies have suggested that other famous artistslike Rembrandt, Picasso, and Degashad it as well, which indicates that the eye condition was more common in centuries past than it is now. (10) Tyler believes that da Vincis condition was intermittentthat is, his eye drifted out of alignment when he was relaxed, but when he focused, it would realign.
