Using words, describe how you would solve the following problem. Make sure to also give your final answer. two and three fourths plus three and three fourths equals

6 and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and 3/4;

3 and 3/4

The denominators are the same so we can start to add.

Add the whole numbers: 2 + 3 = 5

Now add the fractions: 3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4.

6/4 is an improper fraction so we need to convert it to a mixed number:

6 divided by 4 is 1 and 2/4

This can be simplified to 1 and a half.

Add the two parts together: 5 + 1 and a half = 6 and a half

phosphate, calcium ion, chloride ion, neon atom

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
