Jamal completed his math homework in 2/3 of an hour and his reading homework in 3/5 of an hour. how much time did it take him to complete his math and reading homework in all?

Step-by-step explanation: We have to add how much time it took him to do all of his homework. To do this, we have to add 2/3 and 3/5.

First, we have to find a LCM between 3 and 5.

The LCM between those numbers are 15.

Next we find out what number to multiply 3 by to get 15, we multiply it by 5.

2 * 5 = 10

3 * 5 = 15

Next we find out what number to multiply 5 by to get 15, we multiply it by 3.

3 * 3 = 9

5 * 3 = 15

10/15+9/15=19/15

We are left off with 1 4/15

So it took him 1 hour and 4/15 minutes to do his homework.

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p
