How much greater is the weight of the large box at 3/4lb than the small box at 1 1/8lbs

1 answer:

8 0

Well, is just their difference, let's first convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then subtract.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{8}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{9}{8}-\cfrac{3}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is then 8}\implies \cfrac{(1\cdot 9)~~-~~(2\cdot 3)}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{9-6}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}$

charle [14.2K]

The area of a triangle could be determined using the following formula
$\boxed{a= \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h}$

plug in the numbers
$a = \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 12$
$a = \frac{1}{2} \times 252$
$a= \frac{252}{2}$
a = 126

The area of the triangle is 126 square meters
