Hi, okay um. I'm trying to get his math question (Algebra :o) and i'm not quite sure what i'm doing---but everything i do, i get the wrong answer.
The Question is 2m+n
M= 2/5 and n= 1/2 (Fractions)
Everytime i do the question, i get 9/10 as a answer...but i check the textbook answer and it says that it should be 13/10.
So could somebody please help me *find* the answer. Not give me the answer, but kinda show me it. I donno. Please help somebody!
Thanks a ton.
Heh, i just went back and tried it again and figured it out. I was multiplying 2 to both the denominator and numerator. Teehee.
Thanks anways Ms. Sue :)
You're welcome. I'm glad you figured it out. :-)
HAH Nerds...
Of course, I can help you understand how to solve the math problem. Let's go step by step.
The expression given is 2m + n, where m = 2/5 and n = 1/2. To find the value of the expression, we need to substitute the given values of m and n into the expression.
Step 1: Substitute the value of m into the expression.
2m + n = 2 * (2/5) + n
Step 2: Simplify the expression by multiplying.
2 * (2/5) + n = 4/5 + n
Step 3: Substitute the value of n into the simplified expression.
4/5 + n = 4/5 + (1/2)
Now, to add fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. So, we should convert both fractions to have a denominator of 10.
Step 4: Convert the fractions to have a denominator of 10.
4/5 + (1/2) = (4/5) * (2/2) + (1/2) * (5/5)
= 8/10 + 5/10
Step 5: Add the fractions.
8/10 + 5/10 = (8 + 5)/10
= 13/10
Therefore, the final answer for the expression 2m + n, given m = 2/5 and n = 1/2, is 13/10.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!
Did you forget to multiply 2 * 2/5?
M= 2/5 and n= 1/2 (Fractions)
2m+n
(2 * 2/5) + 1/2
4/5 + 1/2 = 8/10 + 5/10 = 13/10
