Answer: 18.45\ kg or 18\frac{9}{20}\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:

11\frac{1}{2}\ kg=(11+0.5)\ kg=11.5\ kg\\\\1\frac{1}{4}\ kg=(1+0.25)\ kg=1.25\ kg

Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:

Total=8.2\ kg+11.5\ kg\\\\Total=19.7\ kg

We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.

Then:

19.7\ kg-1.25\ kg=18.45\ kg or 18\frac{9}{20}\ kg

Answer:

18.45 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

11 1/2 = 11.5 kg.

8.2 + 11.5 = 19.7 kg was the total trash collected.

Amount they threw away = 19.7 - 1 1/4

= 19.7 - 1.25

= 18.45 kg.

mezya [45]

Answer:

20π sq ft ≈ 62.83 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of table with diameter 8 ft = π*8^2/4 = 16π

Area of table with diameter 12 ft = π*12^2/4 = 36π

Difference between the area of the tables ;

= 36π - 16π

= 20π sq ft ≈ 62.83 sq ft                              ( π = 3.14)

Daniel borrows $2,500 at 6% simple interest for 5 years. How much is daniel going to pay in interest. May I please get help I ha
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

2500 x 6/100 = 150

150 x 5 = 750

2500 + 750 = 3 250

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to determine the interest for one year. We know that a percentage means a 100 so we are going to use 6/100. You then have to multiple that by the original amount, you will then get your answer. After obtaining your answer your will multiple it by the number of years which is 5, once you get your answer add it to the original amount. Then you are all set.
