9 / 16 + 1/2 =?

Step 1. To add fractions, they must share the same denominator. Here the denominators are 16 and 2. Since 16 is 8 times 2, multiply 1/2 by 8 to match denominators.

(1 * 8) / (2 * 8) = 8 / 16

Step 2.  Add the numerators over the common denominator.

9/16 + 8/16 = (9+8) / 16 = 17 / 16

Step 3. Reduce the fraction if possible.

17/16 is already in simplest form. Therefore, 9/16 + 1/2 = 17/16

If you want to add and reduce 9/16 and 1/2, follow these steps:

9/16 + 1/2 = 9/16 + 8/16 = (9 + 8) / 16 = 17/16 = 1 1/16

The final answer is 1 1/16.

Leona [9260]
Let x represent the number of pages in the U.S. Tax Code and y denote the pages in the King James Bible.

According to the provided information,
x= y+18,528 ⇒ y=x-18,528
x+y = 21,472 ⇒ x+(x-18,528) = 21,472 ⇒ x+x-18,528 = 21,472 ⇒ 2x= 18,528+21,472 ⇒ 2x = 40,000 ⇒ x=40,000/2 = 20,000 pages

Therefore, the U.S. tax code consists of 20,000 pages.

Kennedy has a gross income of $95,000. What is her total tax due?
AnnZ [9056]

Answer:

This brings her total gross income to $140,000 ($3,000 + $500 + $41,500 + $90,000 + $5,000), with her farm gross income being $95,000 ($90,000 + $5,000). Since 67.9% (which is at least two-thirds) of her gross income derives from farming ($95,000 ÷ $140,000 = .679), she qualifies for the special estimated tax rules designed for qualified farmers.

A rectangular schoolyard is to be fenced in using the wall of the school for one side and 150
lawyer [9226]

Answer:

Part 1) The equation is A(x)=150x-2x^2

Part 2) When x=40 m, the area of the schoolyard is A=2,800 m^2

Part 3) The valid domain consists of all real numbers exceeding zero and below 75 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Formulate an expression for A(x)

Let

x -----> the length of the rectangular school yard

y ---> the width of the rectangular school yard

It is known that

The perimeter for the fencing (taking the school wall as one side) is

P=2x+y

P=150\ m

thus

150=2x+y

y=150-2x -----> this is equation A

The area of the rectangular school yard is

A=xy ----> this is equation B

Substituting equation A into equation B yields

A=x(150-2x)

A=150x-2x^2

Change to function notation

A(x)=150x-2x^2

Part 2) What is the area when x=40?

With x equal to 40 m

substitute the value into the expression from Part 1 to determine A

A(40)=150(40)-2(40^2)

A(40)=2,800\ m^2    

Part 3) What would be a suitable domain for A(x) in this scenario?

We understand that

A signifies the area of the rectangular school yard

x characterizes the length of the rectangular school yard

It follows that

A(x)=150x-2x^2

This forms a vertical parabola opening downwards

The vertex indicates a maximum point

The x-coordinate of the vertex corresponds to the length that maximizes the area

The y-coordinate of the vertex denotes the maximum area

The vertex corresponds to (37.5, 2812.5)

Refer to the accompanying figure

Consequently,

The peak area achieved is 2,812.5 m^2

The x-intercepts are located at x=0 m and x=75 m

The domain for A is the range -----> (0, 75)

All real numbers greater than zero and less than 75 meters
