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.

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

Find the distance between points M (6,16) and Z (-1,14) to the nearest tenth, please help step by step

insens350 [35]

The distance between 2 points P(a, b) and Q(c,d) is given by the formula:

$\displaystyle{d= \sqrt{(b-d)^2+(a-c)^2}$ ,

Apply the formula for the points M(6, 16) and Z(-1, 14):

$\displaystyle{d= \sqrt{(16-14)^2+(6-(-1))^2}= \sqrt{2^2+7^2}= \sqrt{4+49}= \sqrt{53}\approx 7.28$

which rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.3 (units)

Answer: 7.3 units
