Add the following: 2/3 and 4/5.
Explanation
To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 15. So, you need to convert both fractions to have a denominator of 15.
To convert 2/3 to have a denominator of 15, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 5. This gives you 10/15.
To convert 4/5 to have a denominator of 15, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3. This gives you 12/15.
Now, you can add the two fractions: 10/15 + 12/15 = 22/15. Therefore, the correct answer is 22/15.

There are 2.54 cm in one inch. How many cm are in six yards?
Correct Answer
548.64
548.64 cm
548.6
548.6 cm
Explanation
To convert yards to centimeters, we need to know the conversion factor between yards and centimeters. Since the conversion factor between inches and centimeters is 2.54 cm in one inch, we can use this information to find the conversion factor between yards and centimeters.
There are 36 inches in one yard (since 1 yard = 3 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches). Therefore, to convert yards to centimeters, we need to multiply the number of yards by the conversion factor of inches to centimeters (2.54 cm) and then by the conversion factor of yards to inches (36 inches).
So, to find the number of centimeters in six yards, we multiply 6 yards by 36 inches/yard and then by 2.54 cm/inch. This gives us a total of 548.64 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 548.64 cm.

Change 6 2/7 (six and two sevenths) to an improper fraction instead of a mixed number.
Correct Answer
44/7
fourty four sevenths
Explanation
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator. In this case, we have 6 multiplied by 7 (the denominator) which equals 42, and then we add 2 (the numerator) to get 44. Therefore, the improper fraction equivalent of 6 2/7 is 44/7. The phrase "forty four sevenths" is just another way of expressing the improper fraction 44/7.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs that measure 3 and 4.
Explanation
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, the lengths of the legs are 3 and 4. So, using the theorem, we can calculate the hypotenuse as follows: 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25. Taking the square root of 25 gives us 5, which is the length of the hypotenuse. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

Suppose that you are asked to collect information about the colors of cars that drive by school during the day and you record the following:
What is the probability that a car is red or blue?
Explanation
The probability that a car is red or blue can be calculated by adding the probabilities of the car being red and blue separately. From the given information, it is not clear how many cars are red or blue. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact probability. The correct answer cannot be determined based on the given information.
34.
Suppose that you are asked to collect information about the colors of cars that drive by school during the day and you record the following:
What is the probability that a car is green?
Explanation
The probability that a car is green is 1/6. This can be determined by looking at the given information, which states that the total number of cars observed is 180. Out of these 180 cars, the number of green cars is not specified. Therefore, we can assume that there is only one green car out of the six possible colors (assuming each car can only be one color). Thus, the probability of a car being green is 1 out of 6, or 1/6.

For the line y = 2x - 3, which of the following are points on this line? (Hint: use a table like the one below to create points that are on the line)
Check all answers that apply.
Correct Answer(s)
A. (0, -3)
A. (1, -1)
A. (4, 5)
A. (3, 3)
Explanation
The equation y = 2x - 3 represents a straight line. To determine which points lie on this line, we can substitute the given x and y values into the equation and check if the equation holds true.
For the point (0, -3), substituting x = 0 and y = -3 into the equation gives -3 = 2(0) - 3, which is true.
For the point (1, -1), substituting x = 1 and y = -1 into the equation gives -1 = 2(1) - 3, which is true.
For the point (4, 5), substituting x = 4 and y = 5 into the equation gives 5 = 2(4) - 3, which is true.
For the point (3, 3), substituting x = 3 and y = 3 into the equation gives 3 = 2(3) - 3, which is true.
Therefore, the points (0, -3), (1, -1), (4, 5), and (3, 3) are all on the line y = 2x - 3.

What is the total area of the following figure?
Correct Answer
A. 156 sq units
37.
Suppose that you are asked to collect information about the colors of cars that drive by school during the day and you record the following:
What is the probability that a car is not blue?
Explanation
The probability that a car is not blue can be found by subtracting the probability that a car is blue from 1. Since the total number of cars observed is 180 and 60 of them are blue, the probability that a car is blue is 60/180. Therefore, the probability that a car is not blue is 1 - 60/180 = 120/180 = 2/3.
