7 1/12 - 2 3/4

First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions

7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12

2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4

85/12 - 11/4

Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12

4, 8, 12

12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator

85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.

11/4 = 33/12

4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.

3 x 11 = 33

3 x 4 = 12

So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract

85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12

Now we convert back to a mixed number

52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce

4 1/3

Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP: The mass of a ball is 128 g. It has a density of 0.5 g/cm³. What is the volume of the ball? Show your work and plac

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the ball is 256 cm³

Part 2) The radius of the ball is 3.94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The density is equal to divide the mass by the volume

D=m/V

Solve for the volume

The volume is equal to divide the mass by the density

V=m/D

In this problem we have

m=128 g

D=0.5 g/cm³

substitute

V=128/0.5=256 cm³

Part 2) what is the radius of the ball?

we know that

The volume of the sphere (ball) is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

we have

$V=256\ cm^{3}$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute and solve for r

$256=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)r^{3}$

$768=(12.56)r^{3}$

$r^{3}=768/(12.56)$

$r=3.94\ cm$

The length of the rectangle is twice its width. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the length L and width W of

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The length is equal to 12 and the width is equal to 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values here, we start by setting the width equal to x. Now knowing this, we know that the length is twice that long. Therefore, the length would be equal to 2x. Now we can use the perimeter formula to solve the equation.

2L + 2W = P

2(2x) + 2(x) = P

4x + 2x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6

Now with the given value for x, we can tell that the width is 6 and then we multiply it by 2 to get the length value (12).

This is a System Of Equations and I'd like it to get solved by the Elimination or Substitution Method.x+2y=83x+5y=8

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

x=133 y=-25

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do both ways for you. So let's start with Substitution:

With the sub method, you have to set both equations equal to each other by setting them equal to the same variable. Since there is no coefficient in front of both x's in both equations, that variable will be easiest to solve for.

x + 2y = 83 & x + 5y = 8

Solve for x.

x = 83 - 2y & x = 8 - 5y

Once you have solved for x, set each equation equal to one another and solve for y now.

83 - 2y = 8 - 5y

Isolate all variables to one side:

83 = 8 - 3y

Now subtract the 8 to fully isolate the y variable:

75 = -3y

Divide by -3:

-25 = y Now that you have your first variable, plug it into one of the original equations and solve for x.

x + 2(-25) = 83

x - 50 = 83

x = 133

Now for the Elimination method. For this method you need to get rid of a variable by either subtracting/adding each equation together. Again, since you can subtract and x from both equations, you will be left with only the y variable to solve:

Put each equation on top of one another and subtract:

x + 2y = 83

- (x + 5y = 8)

The x's will cancel out:

(x - x) + (2y - 5y) = (83 - 8)

Simplify:

-3y = 75

Solve for y

y = -25

Then, plug y = -25 into one of the original equations:

x + 5(-25) = 8

Solve for x:

x - 125 = 8

x = 133

Hope this helps!
