<h3>given:</h3>

3 3/4 pounds of rice divided equally in 4 containers.

<h3>to find:</h3>

the amount of ounces of rice each were in.

<h3>solution:</h3>

<em><u>33/4 ÷ 4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= (4 × 3 + 3)/4 ÷ 4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= 15/4 × 1/4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= 15/16 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>so</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>now</u></em><em><u>:</u></em>

<em><u>1 pound = 16 ounces</u></em>

<em><u>hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>15/16 pounds = 15/16 × 16 ounces</u></em>

<em><u>= 15 ounces</u></em>

Answer:

Solution

To solve the problem first we have simplify the improper fraction.

⇒ 33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= (4 × 3 + 3) /4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 × 1/4 pounds.

= 15/16 pounds.

Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Therefore, 15/16 pounds .

= 15/16 × 16 ounces.

= 15/1

= 15

= 15 ounces.

Answer: 15 ounces.

Let n (AUB)=32n(B)=16and n(ANB)9 find n (A)​
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)−−−−−−−(1)

Given n(A)= ? we represent with x

n(B)= 16

n(A∪B) = 32

Substituting in equation 1 to get n(A)

32  = n(A) + 9 − 9

⇒n(A) = 32 − 0

n(A)  = 32

to confirm this we put the values into the formula below

n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)−−−−−−−(1)

32 =  32 + 9 - 9

Find the area of the shape shown below.
maw [93]

Answer:

The area is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Visualize the rectangle as 2 split squares.

The top square is easily 4x4, so the area of that part is 16.

Now visualize the bottom square as two rectangles.

To find the area of the dented side, you would use the equation of finding the area of a triangle, a=(w x h)\frac{1}{2} because the dented side is actually just one half of the rectangle on the other side.

Since it is the same height as the top square, but is 2 in width, it would be written as a=(2 x 4)\frac{1}{2} . So the area of that part is 4, and the area of the other rectangle would be just 2 x 4 so it is 8.

Totaling these numbers, you get the area of the full rectangle.
