8 4/9 + 5 3/8 = Please explain.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Ok, so first of all... You've got to get the same numerator. What's a number that 9 and 8 both share? Hmm... How about 72? So then, 9 would be multiplied by 8 and 8 by 9. And so do the denominators. So, your new fraction would be : 8 32/72 + 5 27/72 which equals 13 59/72 The addition part is actually pretty easy. Just add the whole numbers like a normal addition problem and add the denominators to the denominators and the numerator stays the same. Your final answer should be 13 59/72. Hope this helped!
Answer 2
Answer: Find the common denominators within the fractions. So take 4/9 and times the top and bottom by 8 to get 32/72 and 5/8 and times top and bottom by 9 so 45/72. So you will then have 8 32/72 + 5 45/72. Then plus them together. 13 77/72 which equals 14 5/72.

The cost of renting a pickup truck at Trucks Plus is $25 plus $15 cents per mile driven. The cost of renting a truck at Need-A-Truck is $25 plus $10 cents per mile driven. In a graph of the cost of a truck rental, what does the cost per mile driven represent?

Answers

Okay so. Here's what it looks like :    TRUCK PLUS: $25 is the fee upfront. so no matter what your GOING to pay $25 for using the company. Next 15 cents for every mile driven. So if the truck were to drive 3 miles it would be $.45 cents

NEED-A-TRUCK : Same thing. You have to pay $25 no matter what. But for this company you have to pay $.10 per mile.  COST PER MILE means that basically the more miles you drive, the more cents you have to pay. Does that make sense?
