Answer from: Weser17

To find your answer you would need to add both colors(blue and green)
to do this you need to make the denominators the same :

24 is a number we can get 8 and 6 to :
1×4=4
6×4=24

5×3=15
8×3=24

your new fractions are 4/24 and 15/24, now we can add them :

4+15=19
and 24 stays the same

your answer is 19/24 (you can not simplify this)

hope this helped

Answer from: jeovontamarley

The answer is:
First you need to add them together but you first need to find the common denominator that 6 and 8 both go into 24.
Multiply 1/6 by 4/4=4/24. Thats the gallons of blue paint.
Multiply 5/8 by 3/3=15/24. Thats the gallons of green paint.
Now you have to add the two fractions up to find how much paint Mike mixed.
4/24+15/24=19/24.
You cannot simplify 19/24 further.
Answer is: Mike mixes 19/24 gallons of paint together.
Hope this helps! :D

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

a. since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since 2010 0 1 2 3 4 5

profits made in 1000's 39 84 111 120 111 84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120, then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:
