Carl has three lengths of cable, 5/6 yard long, 1/4 yard long, and 2/3 yard long. If he uses 1 yard of cable, how much cable is

Dafna1 [17]

He would have 9/12 yards left over because you have to create a common denominator which would be 12. so for 5/6 you would multiply by 2 so you have 10/12. 1/4 you have to multiply by 3 so you get 3/12. and 2/3 you have to multiply by 4 so you get 8/12. then you add them 10/12+3/12+8/12 = 21/12 which simplifies to 1 9/12 and because he used 1 yard he is left with 9/12.
final answer: 9/12 yards

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

Mary and Jeff both have jobs at a baseball stadium selling bags of peanuts. They each get paid $12 per game

Anarel [89]

A) 1.75p + 12 = 54
1.75p = 42
p = 24 bags

b) 1.75(70) + 12 = b
122.5 + 12 = b
b = $134.50
