Hey there!
The answer is no because whenever you add or subtract fractions, you find the common denominator(the bottom of the fraction)
Corret way:
The common denominator is 15 (5*3)
Multiply numerator(top) and the denominator by 3
4/5*3*3= 12/15
Multiply numerator and the denominator by 5
1/3*5/5= 5/15
So the equation is now
12/15+5/15= 17/15 or 1 2/15
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Equation 0.5 + 1.75(x) = 4
x = 2movies
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
movie night will last for 4 hours
each movie take 1.75 hours
time for eating popcorn 0.5 hours
To find,
number of movies which can be watched
<h2>Equation</h2><h2>0.5 + 1.75(x) = 4</h2><h2>Solve for x</h2><h3>1.75(x) = 4 - 0.5</h3><h3>1.75(x) = 3.5</h3><h3>x = 3.5/1.75</h3><h3>x = 2 </h3>
So, total number of movies which could be watched in 4hr = 2
