12-n
Answer: 19/12 pounds or 1.583 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a pound be represented by x. So x = 1 pound.
5/6 of a pound is the same as multiplying 5/6 × x. It becomes 5/6 × x = 5x/6
3/4 of a pound is the same as multiplying 3/4 × x. It becomes 3/4 × x = 3x/4
We want to look for 5/6 of a pound + 3/4 of a pound.
It becomes
5x/6 + 3x/4
Taking lowest common multiple(LCM) of 12, it becomes
= (2×5x + 3×3x) / 12
= (10x +9x)/12
= 19x /12
Substituting x = 1 pound,
It becomes 19/12 pounds
Expressing in decimal, 19/12 = 15.83
We can also solve from the beginning in terms of decimals
5/6 pounds = 0.833 pounds
3/4pounds = 0.75 pounds
5/6 pounds + 3/4 pounds = 0.833 + 0.75 = 1.583 pounds
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
you just Multiply by 2
Given: m∠A + m∠B = 90° (Definition of Complementary Angles).
Given: m∠B = (5x + 8)°
A) m∠A = 180° + (5x + 8) is your answer choice:
Why it isn't the others:
B) m∠A = 90° - (5x + 8)
You are solving for complementary angles (90° in total when combined), so you subtract the measurement for B (5x + 8) to get A.
C) m∠A = 180° - 2(5x + 8)°
You double the complementary angle to solve for the supplementary. Essentially, just divide this answer by two to get the complementary angles.
D) m∠A = 82 - 5x
I was confused by this one, but essentially they just did one step of the isolating the variable, which was subtracting 8 from both sides. They did not finish isolating the variable however.
