Whats the answer to these? (These are called Proper fractions.) Jeremiah ran for 3/10 of a mile and then walked another 2/5 of a mile. How far did he travel in all?

Daniel read 4/5 books and Edgar read 1/2 books. How many more books did Daniel read than Edgar?

1: 7/10

2: 3/10

3: 4/8 (2/4 or 1/2 if you need to simplify it)

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Convert 2/5 to tenths by multiplying the denominator and numerator by two. 3/10 plus 4/10 is 7/10

2: Convert 4/5 and 1/2 to tenths.

4/5 is going to be 8/10, 1/2 is going to be 5/10.

Subtract 5/10 from 8/10 to get 3/10

3: Convert 1/4 to eighths to get 2/8. Then add 2/8 and 2/8 to get 4/8.

Answer from: richaeviney

Jeremiah: convert the 5ths to 10ths
3/10 + 4/10 = 7/10

Daniel: convert both fractions to 10ths
8/10 - 5/10 = 3/10

Jared: reduce 8ths to 4ths
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

Answer from: Quest

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

Answer from: Quest

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a. $y = 60(1) - 90 \\ y = 60 - 90 \\ y = - 30$ this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b. $y = 60(1) - 150 \\ y = 60 - 150 \\ y = - 90$ this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
