At the local nursery, 5/12 of the plants for sale are flowers and another 1/8 of them are bushes. What fraction of the plants for sale are either flowers or bushes? Write your answer as a fraction that is simplified. *

of the plants for sale are either flowers or bushes.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a careful reading, we conclude that the key part of the statement is: What fraction of the plants for sale are either flowers or bushes? Inside that question, we find the logical operator or, which is equivalent to a sum in algebraic language.

Let be and the fractions of flowers and bushes to be sold at the local nursery. Then, question above is translated into the following expression:

(Eq. 1)

Where is the fraction of plants for sale that are either flowers or bushes, dimensionless.

If we know that and , then the fraction of plants for sale that are either flowers or bushes is:

of the plants for sale are either flowers or bushes.

a)(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=9

step-by-step explanation:

(picture explains)

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.
