Answer:

9/20, or 0.45 mile.

Step-by-step explanation: $\\$

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply length times width. In this problem we are given both the length and width.

Mr Davis is creating a spice mixture for a recipe.2/5 of the spice mixture was oregano 1/3 of the spice mixture was basil the re

attashe74 [19]

Answer: $\frac{11}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

- 2/5 of the spice mixture was oregano.

- 1/3 of the spice mixture was basil.

Then, to find the fraction of the total amount of spice mixture that was oregano and basil, you must add both fractions, as following:

- Find the least common multiply of the denominators:

$LCM=5*3=15$

- Divide the LCM by each original denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

- Make the addition.

Then, the result is:

$\frac{(2*3)+(1*5)}{15}=\frac{6+5}{15}=\frac{11}{15}$

Alvin and Bala has 26 stickers.Alvin had 8 more stickers thab Bala.How many stickers did Bala have?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Bala had 9 stickers

You could set this up as a equation. Because there was a total of 26 you would for sure put =26. Next you are told Alvin has 8 MORE than Bali, therefore you would be adding the unknown value of Bala by 8. This could be represented as x+8=26. Now that you have x added to 8 you need to add another x to the equation to fully represent the problem since Alvin has 8 more stickers than Bala does. The new equation would become 2x+8=26.

You must now isolate x by first subtraction 8 from both sides which will leave you with 2x=18. Then you divide on both sides by 2 and will leave you with x=9
