Answer:

The weight of bag of grapefruit  =3\frac{27}{100} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of apples purchased   = 1  5/8 pounds

Now, 1\frac{5}{8}   = 1+ \frac{5}{8} = 1 + 0.625  =1.625

So, the weight of apples brought = 1.625 pounds.

The total weight of bananas purchased   = 2  3/16 pounds

Now, 12\frac{3}{16}   = 2+ \frac{3}{16} = 2+ 0.1875  =2.1875

So, the weight of bananas brought = 2.1875 pounds.

Let us assume the total weight of grapefruit weight = m pounds

Now, total weight = 7   1/12 pounds =  7.0833

⇒ Weight of ( Apples + Banana + Grapefruit) = Total Weight

⇒1.625 pounds +  2.1875 pounds + m = 7.0833 pounds

or, m  =  7.0833 - 3.8125 = 3 .27

or, m = 3.27

Now, 3.27  = 3 + 0.27  = 3 + \frac{27}{100}   = 3\frac{27}{100}

Hence. the weight of bag of grapefruit  =3\frac{27}{100}

Erm I don't understand-
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

1. (7+3)/2

2. 6, 3

3. 5/6

4. 500, 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We are adding 7 and 3 so use the plus sign, THEN we divide by 2

Because we are adding first, put parentheses  

(7+3)/2

2. Nearest whole means whole number (so basically no decimal)

5.823 --> 6 (because 8 is closer to 10 than 0)

3.147 --> 3 (because 1 is closer to 0)

3. 1/3+1/2

Find a common difference, which is 6

Multiply to get 6

1/3*2= 2/6

1/2*3=3/6

3+2=5/6 (when adding keep denominator the same)

4. There are 100 centimeters in a meter

5*100= 500 centimeters

There are 1000 grams in a kilogram

4*1000= 4000 grams

Hope this helps, lemme know if somethings still unclear!!

144 = -12 (x + 5)<br><br> find x<br><br> Show work.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

-17 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

144 = -12 (x + 5)

Divide each side by -12

144/-12 = -12 (x + 5)/-12

-12 = x+5

Subtract 5 from each side

-12-5 =x+5-5

-17 =x

Answer:

The area is  522.935 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid's area is calculated as follows: h(b1+b2)/2

Plugging numbers in gives 34.3+12.6=46.9

so now all that's left is to multiply 22.3 and 46.9, and divide by 2.

This gives 522.935

Hope this helps!
