Answer:
B: 8 7/8 Lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
answer = 
step 1 find a common denominator
common denominator - 8
* apply *

now we have

step 2 make each fraction a improper fraction
We can do this my multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding that to the numerator.

now we have

Now we can subtract
remember when subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. ( so we keep the denominator as 8 )
so 121 - 28 - 22 = 71
so the answer is 
finally we want to change the answer back into a mixed fraction
To do this we divided 71 and 8
8 can go into 71 8 times
8 * 8 = 64
71 - 64 = 7
We're left with 
3/4+2/6+1/2 = 9/12+4/12+6/12 = 19/12 Brendan has 1 7/12 leftover pizzas. THis is achieved by multiplying for a common denominator and adding
19/12-2/3 = 19/12-8/12 = 11/12 Brendan has 11/12 more pizzas than Steve.
Find unit rate of pages read per minute:
(5/8)/(2/3)
(5/8)*(3/2)
(5*3)/(8*2)
(15)/(16)
15/16
Kenny reads 15/16 pages every minute (unit rate)
Answer:
∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Reason; Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC)
∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: Reason; CPCTC
Step-by-step explanation:
: Reason; Given
Draw
so that M is the midpoint of
: Reason; Two points determine a line
: Reason; Definition of midpoint
: Reason; Reflexive property
ΔPQM ≅ ΔPRM: Reason; Side Side Side (SSS) rule for triangle congruency
∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent CPCTC
∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: CPCTC
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
