Answer:

  1 23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions can be added when they have the same denominator. Then the addition is performed by adding the numerators, and expressing the sum over the common denominator.

Here, your fractions have denominators of 8 and 6. Usually, we want to find a "least common denominator" to use to express the fractions. There are various ways to find that value. One of the easiest is to consult your memory of multiplication tables to find the smallest number that both a multiple of 8 and a multiple of 6. That number is 24.

An equivalent fraction is one that has the same value, but a different denominator than the one it is being compared to. Equivalent fractions can be made by multiplying by "1" in the form of "a/a" where "a" is any non-zero value. Here, it is useful to multiply 9/8 by 3/3 to make the equivalent fraction 27/24, which has a denominator of 24.

Similarly, we can multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get the equivalent 20/24, which also has a denominator of 24.

These two fractions can now be added:

  [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{27}{24}+\dfrac{20}{24}=\dfrac{27+20}{24}=\dfrac{47}{24}[/tex]

If you want to turn this into a "mixed number", you need to find how many times 24 goes into 47: 47÷24 = 1 remainder 23. The quotient is the integer part of the mixed number; the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part. Then the mixed number value of the sum is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{47}{24}=1\dfrac{23}{24}[/tex]

_____

Additional comments

The product of the denominators can always serve as a common denominator. That may not be the "least" common denominator. If you use that here, you would have ...

  [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\right)+\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}\right)=\dfrac{54+40}{48}=\dfrac{94}{48}[/tex]

This result can be reduced by removing a factor of 2 from numerator and denominator to give 47/24, the sum we had above.

The "least common denominator" (LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. It can be found by forming the product of the unique factors of the denominators. Here, we have 8 = 2·2·2 and 6 = 2·3. The LCD is the product 2·2·2·3. We recognize that 2³ and 3 are unique factors that need to contribute to the LCD. 2 is subsumed by 2³.

As you can see from the factoring, 2 is a common factor of both numbers. Another way to find the LCD (or LCM of the denominators) is to form their product (8×6 = 48) and divide that by the greatest common factor (GCF), which is 2. (48/2 = 24, the LCD) Sometimes it is easier to find the GCF and compute (product/GCF) than to find the LCM using factoring.

__

If you don't mind the possibility of having to reduce the resulting fraction, the sum of fractions can always be computed as ...

  [tex]\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}[/tex]

This formula computes 94/48 as the sum of these fractions, effectively leaving out the middle step (9/8×6/6 +...) shown in the work above. I find this especially useful for adding rational expressions, not just numerical fractions.

Full question:

Zoe is a party planner. She orders cupcakes and sheet cakes from Creative Cakes whenever she needs beautiful cakes to serve. One sheet cake serves 24 people and 2 dozen cupcakes serve 24 people. For the Benson's bridal shower she ordered 10 dozen cupcakes and 4 sheet cakes and paid $186.44. For the Nygaard's 50th wedding anniversary she ordered 2 dozen cupcakes and 15 sheet cakes and paid $259.66. She is planning a graduation party for her niece's high school class. She wants the party to be nice but she offered to pay for the she wants to choose the most economical plan. Zoe estimates 250 people will attend the party

Select the most economical choice below:

Zoe should buy sheet cakes because they cost $12.38 for one sheet cake.

Zoe should buy sheet cakes because they cost $15.66 for one sheet cake.

Zoe should buy cupcakes because they cost $12.38 for one dozen cupcakes.

Zoe should buy cupcakes because they cost $15.66 for one dozen cupcakes.

Zoe should buy cupcakes because they cost $12.38 for two dozen cupcakes.

Answer:

Zoe should buy cupcakes because they cost $12.38 for two dozen cupcakes.

Explanation:

If there are 250 people attending the high school class graduation party, then 24 people each within 250 people in total would get 2 dozen cupcakes worth $12.38 each.

Therefore there are 250/24 = 10.41 groups (10 groups approximately or 10.41×2=20.82 dozens of cupcakes required)

Zoe would need to spend 10.41×$12.38= $128.88 to buy the cupcakes for the party

Two boats are travelling at 30 miles/hr, the first going north and the second going east. The second crosses the path of the first 10 minutes after the first one was there. At what rate is their distance increasing when the second has gone 10 miles beyond the crossing point

Answers

Answer:

their distance is increasing at the rate of 41.6 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

first we determine the distance travelled by the first boat in 10 min when the second boat was crossing its path;

⇒ ( 30/60 ) × 10 = 5 miles

so as illustrated in the diagram below;

y² = x² + ( x + 5 )²

2y[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = 2x[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] + 2(x+5)[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

y[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = ( 2x + 5 ) ][tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = [( 2x + 5 )/y ][tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]   ------ let this be equation 1

Now, given that, [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]  = 30 miles/hr, when x = 10

so

y = √( 10² + 15² ) = √325

so from equation 1

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = [( 2x + 5 )/y ][tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

we substitute

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = [( 2(10) + 5 ) / √325 ]30

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = [ 25 / √325 ] × 30

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = 41.6 miles/hr

Therefore, their distance is increasing at the rate of 41.6 miles/hr

Companies are starting to use 360-degree surveys to evaluate the performance of their employees. This approach uses annonymous feedback from a variety of people who work closely with the employee. People who fill out the survey could be coworkers, supervisors, subordinates, or even customers. It is different from a traditional performance review, which relies only on feedback from an employee's supervisor. Many prefer the 360-degree approach because it provides a more well-rounded perspective on how the employee performs in their job role. Supervisers can be biased because they do not interact with the employee in the same way that a customer or co-worker might. However, the 360-degree survey approach still relies only on subjective feedback, which does not always give a fair representation of the employee's work?

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Do we have reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased if, in a random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Test if the proportion has increased:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still of 40%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion has increased, that is, is greater than 40%, so:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.4[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]

Random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment.

This means that [tex]n = 15, X = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.5333 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.05[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion of 0.5333 or more, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.05.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.05 has a p-value of 0.8531.

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469.

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.
