Wayne bought blueberries. he uses 3/8 of the blueberries to make blueberry bread, 1/6 of the blueberries to make pancakes, and 5/12 of the blueberries to make jam. if wayne uses 69 ounces of the blueberries he bought, how many ounces of blueberries did he buy?

Wayne bought 72 blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine the fractions, convert all of the fractions to a denominator of 24.

3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24

1/6 * 4/4 = 4/24

5/12 * 2/2 = 10/24

Now add together the fractions

9/24 + 4/24 + 10/24 = 23/24

He used 23/24 of his blueberries, or 69 of them.

To find the total amount of blueberries, divide 69 by 23, then multiply that number b 24.

69 / 23 = 3

3 * 24 = 72

Wayne bought 72 blueberries.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
