Answer:

Her answer is not correct because the sum cannot be less than either addend.

The correct answer is \frac{179}{180}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression to add is given as:

\frac{17}{18}+\frac{1}{20}

Alaina got the answer as \frac{18}{38}

Let us first try to add the fractions and arrive at the answer.

Taking LCD of 18 and 20, we get LCD = 180

Now, making denominators of each fraction equal to 180 and changing the numerators accordingly.

=\frac{17\times 10}{18\times 10}+\frac{1\times 9}{20\times 9}\\=\frac{170}{180}+\frac{9}{180}\\=\frac{170+9}{180}=\frac{179}{180}

Therefore, the result of Alaina is not correct because she got an answer which is less than the fraction \frac{17}{18}. But when we add two fractions, the result must be greater than either of the addend.

Therefore, her answer is not correct because the sum cannot be less than either addend.

Find the sum (3.2+4x)+(18.25+6x)=
tatiyna

Answer:    -2.145

Step-by-step explanation:

(3.2+4x)+(18.25+6x)=

Simplifying

(3.2 + 4x) + (18.25 + 6x) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (3.2 + 4x)

3.2 + 4x + (18.25 + 6x) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (18.25 + 6x)

3.2 + 4x + 18.25 + 6x = 0

Reorder the terms:

3.2 + 18.25 + 4x + 6x = 0

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 18.25 = 21.45

21.45 + 4x + 6x = 0

Combine like terms: 4x + 6x = 10x

21.45 + 10x = 0

Solving

21.45 + 10x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-21.45' to each side of the equation.

21.45 + -21.45 + 10x = 0 + -21.45

Combine like terms: 21.45 + -21.45 = 0

0 + 10x = 0 + -21.45

10x = 0 + -21.45

Combine like terms: 0 + -21.45 = -21.45

10x = -21.45

Divide each side by '10'.

x = -2.145

Simplifying

x = -2.145

A television sports commentator wants to estimate the proportion of citizens who "follow professional football." Complete parts
masha68 [24]

Answer:

626 and 654

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  television sports commentator wants to estimate the proportion of citizens who "follow professional football."

Part I:

p = 0.48

q=1-p = 0.52\\se = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\\frac{0.4996}{\sqrt{n} } =

Margin of error =2.045*\frac{0.4996}{\sqrt{n} }626

Sample size should be >626

Part II:

If unknown we take p = 0.5 because maximum std error for this

Here everything would be the same except insted of 0.48 we use 0.5

Margin of error = 2.045*\sqrt{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{n} } } 654

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

a and b are too close because 0.46 proportion is close to part b proporti0n 0.5

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (1 point)
Sergio [31]

Okay, well we start out with the equation P=66, where P is perimeter. You should create equations using variables to explain each piece of information you are given. Follow the equations below and see if you can understand how to do another one like this. In this problem, l is length and w is width.


P = 66                               The perimeter is equal to 66

l = 3 + w                           The length of one side is 3 more than the width

2l + 2w = 66                      A rectangle's perimeter is calculated by adding the lengths and widths

2(3 + w) + 2w = 66           Use what you know about length from step 2 to replace the variable in step 3

6 + 2w + 2w = 66              Multiply

6 + 4w = 66                       Add like terms

4w = 60                            Subtract

w = 15                             Divide

l = 3 + w                         Remember step 2?

l = 3 + 15                       Replace the variable using your value for w

l = 18                             Add

And you're done! Always check your work. It helps to create a picture of a rectangle while you're doing these problems as well. As you get used to these problems more and more, you can show more or less work than I've shown, but try to stay true to what the teacher asks of you. Good luck!

What percent of 55 is 34
mihalych1998 [28]
So,

To what percent 34 is of 55, we first need to find the fraction equivalent.

34 out of 55 parts or 34/55

Divide 34 by 55.

34/55 = 0.61818...

Now, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right in order to convert it to a percent.

6.1818...
61.81818...

Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 61.82%
Rounded to the nearest tenth: 61.8%
Rounded to the nearest percent: 62%

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from t
Over [174]

Answer:

1) a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If the multiple of one column of a matrix A is added to another to form matrix B then we get: |A| = |B|. Here, the value of the determinant does not change. The correct option is A

a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) Two matrices can be column-equivalent when one matrix is changed to the other using a sequence of elementary column operations. Correc option is d.

d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.
