Riley drank 1/2 more of a quart of iced tea than her friend.




Explanation:

0.3 as a fraction is 3/10. So Riley’s friend drank 3/10 of a quart of iced tea.

Riley drank 8/10’s of a quart so let’s set up an equation.


8/10 - 3/10


Solve.


= 5/10, which can be simplified to 1/2.



Hope this helps!

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 can be converted into 3/10. TO find out how much more of a quart of iced tea that Riley drank than her friend, we have to subtract the amount of iced tea that her friend drank from the amount that Riley drank.

8/10 - 3/10 = 5/10

Now, we have the opportunity to simplify the fraction. 5/10 is the same as 1/2. Therefore, Riley drank 5/10, or 1/2, more than her friend. I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)

What are the roots to<br> the equation<br> 2x² + 6x-1=0?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The roots of  equations are as m =  \frac{-3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}  And n =  \frac{-3}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}    

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is 2 x² + 6 x - 1 = 0

This equation is in form of a x² + b x + c = 0

Let the roots of the equation are ( m , n )

Now , sum of roots = \frac{ - b}{a}

And products of roots = \frac{c}{a}

So, m + n = \frac{ - 6}{2} = - 3

And m × n =  \frac{ - 1}{2}

Or, (m - n)² = (m + n)² - 4mn

Or, (m - n)² = (-3)² - 4 (\frac{ - 1}{2})

Or, (m - n)² = 9 + 2 = 11

I.e m - n = \sqrt{11}

Again m + n = - 3    And m - n = \sqrt{11}

Solving this two equation

(m + n) + ( m - n) = - 3 + \sqrt{11}

I.e 2 m =  - 3 + \sqrt{11}

Or, m = \frac{-3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}

Similarly n =  \frac{-3}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}      

Hence the roots of  equations are as m =  \frac{-3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}  And n =  \frac{-3}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}      Answer

1. Calculate the area of the<br> figure below. Round to the<br> hundredths place when<br> necessary.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The area is 88.39 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the area of the semicircle given that the diameter of the semi circle is 15 cm

We start by getting the radius

Mathematically r = D/2

= 15/2 = 7.5

Area of semicircle is area of circle/2

= (pi * r^2)/2

= (22/7 * 7.5^2)/2 = 88.39 cm
