Please answer the following essay question:
Explain why we need to have a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.
Answer in paragraph form using complete sentences and include any calculations, graphs, and labeled diagrams as appropriate.
Answer: The denominator of a fraction tells you the relative size of the pieces. Therefore, the reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size.
Answer:
We need to have a common denominator in order to subtract different fractions because if we have an example like.
5/2 - 6/8 we cannot do that because the denominator is not alike.
We have to use multiplication to help us here.
2 x 8 = 16 !
So. no we have 5/16
so now we do 5 x 8 = 40
So now my new fraction is - 40/16 BUTTTT 40/16 is an improper fraction. so 40/16 = 5/2
Now we are back at the square 1 so now we have to fix 6/8.
8 x 6 = 48
6 x 6 = 36.
--
2 x 24 = 48.
5 x 24 = 120 or 12
now we have 12/48 and 36/48.
We can subtract now!
Hope this helped for problems like this.

There are approximately 250.9 million cars in the United States.
Spain has approximately 25.1 million cars. About how many times
more cars does the U.S. have than Spain? Explain why your answer
is reasonable.
Answer:
9.99 (SIMPLIFIED ANSWER)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to divide 250.9 (The dividend) by 25.1 (The divisor), and you get 9.99601593625, but if you need to simplify it, it would be 9.99.
Can you answer number 3, 4, and 5?

Machine A makes 12.75 ounces of popcorn in 3 minutes. Machine B makes 18 ounces of popcorn in 4 minutes. If each machine makes popcorn for 10 minutes, will there be enough popcorn for eight 9-ounce bags? Explain.
A. Yes; Machine A and Machine B make 77.5 ounces in 10 minutes. 77.5 > 72, so there will be enough popcorn.
B. Yes; Machine A and Machine B make 87.5 ounces in 10 minutes. 87.5 > 72, so there will be enough popcorn.
C. No; Machine A and Machine B make 67.5 ounces in 10 minutes. 67.5 < 72, so there will not be enough popcorn.
D. No; Machine A and Machine B make 30.75 ounces in 10 minutes. 30.75 < 72, so there will not be enough popcorn.
Answer: Machine A makes popcorn at a rate of 4.25 ozs per minute (12.75oz/3min).
Machine B makes popcorn at a rate of 4.5 ozs per minute (18oz/4min).
Machine A will make 4.25oz/min * 10minutes = 42.5oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
Machine B will make 4.5oz/min * 10 minutes = 45oz of popcorn after 10 minutes
After 10 minutes there will be a total of 42.5oz (Machine A) +45oz (Machine B) = 87.5oz.
So the answer is: Yes there will be (more than) enough popcorn if both machines make popcorn for 10 minutes.
If the question is wondering how many 9oz bags they can fill: 87.5oz/9oz per bag = 9.7222 bags. The machines can fill 9, 9oz, bags with some popcorn leftover.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A/B
Step-by-step explanation:
They will have enough popcorn
Either way there will be enough popcorn to make eight 9-ounce bags.

The table shows a proportional relationship between x and y. What is the unit rate of y per x?
A) 1 B) 3 C) 6 D) 9
Answer:
The unit rate of y per x is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to give the unit rate of x.
To do this, we will critically look to establish the relationship between both set of values.
Looking at the values critically, we can see that the values in the first brackets, when multiplied by 4 will give the values in the second bracket. Hence we can say that the values in the second bracket are multiples of the first by 9.
i wil give you a brainlyest if you help me and five stars simplify the expression like terms 2(x+6)+3x+4=
Answer: 5x + 16
Step-by-step explanation: distribute, add the numbers, and combine like terms.
Answer:
x = -3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve parenthesis:
2(x+6)+3x+4= 0 (Given)
2x + 12 + 3x + 4 = 0 (distributive property of equality)
Then, you comibine like terms:
2x + 12 + 3x + 4 = 0
5x + 16 = 0 (Combining like terms)
And then, move the variables to the left and constants to the right:
5x + 16 = 0
5x = -16 (Subtraction property of equality) You subtract 16 from both side, since the variable is on the right already you leave it that way.
Finally, you divide both sides to get the answer ( solve for X):
5x = -16
x = -3.2 (division property of equality)
There is your answer!
Hope this helps!

Factor out the coefficient of the variable term.
The expression 1.5y – 6 factored is
Answer:y=4
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
1.5y + -6 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 1.5y = 0
Solving
-6 + 1.5y = 0
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 1.5y = 0 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 1.5y = 0 + 6
1.5y = 0 + 6
Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
1.5y = 6
Divide each side by '1.5'.
y = 4
Simplifying
y = 4
The equivalent equation, if 6 is factored out from the expression is 6(0.25y - 1)
Given a linear equation y = mx + b where b is the constant.
Given the linear equation f(y) = 1.5y - 6, we can see that 6 is the constant in the expression.
Factoring out 6 from the expression
[tex]f(y) = 1.5y-1.6\\f(y)=6(\frac{1.5y}{6}-\frac{6}{6} )\\f(y)=6(\frac{0.25y}{1} -1)\\f(y) = 6(0.25y-1)[/tex]
Hence the equivalent equation, if 6 is factored out from the expression is 6(0.25y - 1)
