The equation that matches the given situation is -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}=? . So, after two moves, Eric's elevation changed 4\frac{1}{4} meters above.

We know that in mathematics, subtraction means removing something from a group or a number of things. What is left in the group gets smaller when we subtract. The minuend is the first element we use. The subtrahend is the part that is being removed. The difference is the portion that remains after subtraction.

Assume that "negative" means climbing down and "positive" means climbing up. We must locate the elevation change in this area.

Given that Eric climbed straight down 2\frac{1}{2} meters. So we can write -2\frac{1}{2}.

Again Eric climbed straight up 6\frac{3}{4} meters. So, we can write 6\frac{3}{4}.

Then the change = -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}

=-\frac{(2*2+1)}{2}+\frac{6*4+3}{4}

=-\frac{5}{2} +\frac{27}{4}

=\frac{-(5*2)+27}{4}

=\frac{-10+27}{4}

=\frac{17}{4}

=\frac{4*4+1}{4}

=4\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, the equation that matches the given situation is -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}=? . So, after two moves, Eric's elevation changed 4\frac{1}{4} meters above.

Find the missing dimension.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the area and the lengths of the two parallel sides of this trapezoid are given:

A = 7m^2, b1 = 3 m and b2 = 4 m.  What's missing is the width of the trapezoid.

First we write out the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

       b1 + b2

A = --------------- * w, where w represents the width of the figure.

             2

We need to solve this for the width, w.  Multiplying both sides of the above equation by

     2

------------

b1 + b2

results in

 2A

------------ = w

b1 + b2

Substituting 7 m^2 for A, 3 m for b1 and 4 m for b2 results in

        2(7 m^2)           14 m^2

w = ------------------ = ---------------- = 2 m

        (3 + 4) m             7 m

The missing dimension is the width of the figure.  This width is 2 m.

20 Fuji apples cost $12. How many Fuji apples can you buy for $3?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

5 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the cost of one apple

12/20 = the cost of one apple

= $0.60

Then, we divide 3 by the price of one apple

3/0.6 = amount of apple we can buy

= 5

I need help with this as well
Zina [86]
19. 4/6 or 2/3 (lowest term) or 2:3 in ratio
20. 2/3 or 2:3 in ratio
21. 5/12 or 5:12 in ratio
22. 14
    To get geometric mean, multiply the numbers then get the square root of the product (if there are two numbers), cube root (if there are three numbers), and so on. In this case, 7*28 = 196; √196 = 14
23. 10 ft : 2.5 ft.
    Convert the values so that it will be similar. In this case, 30 inches is converted to ft.
24. 24 is the Perimeter of ABCDE.
    ABCDE and FGHJK are similar shapes. Similar shapes have proportional measurements.

Now compute for the sides of ABCDE.
AB = 4; BC = ?; CD = ?; DE = ?; EA = ?
AB + BC + CD + DE + EA
4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 24

Find BC:
AB/BC = FG/GH
   4/BC = 8/8 
    8BC = 32
      BC = 4

Find CD:
BC/CD = GH/HJ
   4/CD = 8/10
    8CD = 40
      CD = 5

Find DE:
CD/DE = HJ/JK
   5/DE = 10/12
  10DE = 60
       DE = 6

Find EA
DE/EA = JK/KF
   6/EA = 12/10
  12EA = 60
      EA = 5
