Select True or false for each statement

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

False

True

False

False

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We have to get the sum as follows :

$3\frac{4}{9} + 4\frac{6}{9}$

= $\frac{31}{9} + \frac{42}{9}$

= $\frac{31 + 42}{9}$

= $\frac{73}{9}$

= $8\frac{1}{9} \neq 7\frac{1}{9}$

So, this is false.

2. We have to get the sum as follows :

$4\frac{5}{6} + 1\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{29}{6} + \frac{9}{6}$

= $\frac{29 + 9}{6}$

= $\frac{38}{6}$

= $6\frac{2}{6}$

So, this is true.

3. We have to get the difference as follows :

$4\frac{5}{8} - 2\frac{4}{8}$

= $\frac{37}{8} - \frac{20}{8}$

= $\frac{37 - 20}{8}$

= $\frac{17}{8}$

= $2\frac{1}{8} \neq 2\frac{3}{8}$

So, this is false.

4. We have to get the difference as follows :

$7\frac{5}{8} - 4\frac{2}{8}$

= $\frac{61}{8} - \frac{34}{8}$

= $\frac{61 - 34}{8}$

= $\frac{27}{8}$

= $3\frac{3}{8} \neq 3$

So, this is also false. (Answer)

if you have 89 apples and you take 72 away and buy 14 more and take 12 away then buy 42 more and give them 16 more

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is that there will be 45 remaining apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you start off with 89 and then you take 72 away, that leaves you with 17 apples. Then, you buy 14 more which brings it up to 31. After that, you give 12 more away which brings your total down to 19. Next, you go out and buy 42 more, which adds up to 61 remaining apples. Finally, you give away 16 more, which brings you to a grand total of, 45 apples left.

Hope this helps!
