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.

y= 4/1x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

first identify "b", which is where the line crosses the y-axis, in the graph we can see it does so at unit 3.

b= 3

next, we will find where the line crosses any point on the graph perfectly, such as coordinate (1, 7). Now use unit 3 on the y-axis as your reference point, we can see coordinates (1, 7) is 4 units up and 1 unit to the right from our reference point. This indicates our "m",

m= 4/1

therefore, y=4/1x+3

1 yard in 6 minutes

Question 1
Part A

Find the unit rate.

Answers

The unit rate is 1 yard :: 6 minutes. This is correct because you cannot divide each number evenly.

The unit rate in feet per second is 1/120 feet/sec.

Given that, 1 yard in 6 minutes.

What is the unit rate?

Unit rate can be defined as the ratio between two measurements with the second term as 1. It is considered to be different from a rate, in which a certain number of units of the first quantity is compared to one unit of the second quantity.

We know that 1 yard=3 feet and 1 minute = 60 seconds

Now, 6 minutes = 360

So, unit rate is 3/360

= 1/120 feet/sec

Therefore, the unit rate in feet per second is 1/120 feet/sec.
