Answer:

2/12 or 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

to subtract or to add you need to see if the two fraction have common denominator. In this case there is no common denominator.

since 5/12 as a denominator of 12

and 1/4 has  4 as denominator which is multiple of 12

THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS 12

to get from 4 to 12 you multiply 4 by 3

4 times 3 = 12

if you do one thing on the denominator, then you should also do it to the numerator.

1/4 times 3/3= 3/12

now you could subtract 5/12 and 3/12

5/12-3/12= 2/12 or 1/6

Answer:

\frac{5}{12}  -  \frac{1}{4}  \frac{ \times }{ \times }  \frac{3}{ 3 }  \\  \frac{5}{12}  -  \frac{3}{12}  \\  =  \frac{2}{12}  =  \frac{1}{6}

A building makes a 90° angle with the ground. A ladder leans against the building, making a 110° exterior angle with the ground.
liberstina [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

A building makes a 90^{\circ} angle with the ground .The two interior angles are 70^{\circ} and 20^{\circ}

<u>Solution: </u>

Given, a ladder which is against the building wall makes an exterior angle of 110^{\circ}

And building makes a  90^{\circ} angle with the ground.

So, altogether it makes a right angle triangle with ladder as hypotenuse and ground as base leg and building as another leg.  

Now, we know that, sum of exterior angles and interior angles equals to 180^{\circ}

Here, in the case of ground and ladder, exterior angle is 110^{\circ} and interior angle is unknown.

Exterior angle + interior angle = 180

110 + interior angle = 180

Interior angle = 180 – 110

Interior angle = 70^{\circ}

We have found one of the two interior angles of right angle triangle.

We know that, sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degree

Known Interior angle + unknown interior angle + right angle = 180

70 + unknown interior angle + 90 = 180

Unknown interior angle + 160 = 180

Unknown interior angle = 180 - 160

Unknown interior angle = 20^{\circ}

Hence the two interior angles are  70^{\circ} and 20^{\circ}

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 60−15x≥7?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a situation for 60−15x≥7, look for a story where 60 is a constant value that is decreasing by 15 for a number of times and where equal to or at least 7 is an option.

A. x would be weeks and it would decrease by 7x. This is not it.

B. 15 songs packages would have x be the number of packages not the price. This is not it.

C. This doesn't work either because if you want to owe them less than 7 it would have the sign < not >.

D. You have 60 to spend and you decrease it by $15 for each hat you buy till you save $7. This is it.

A man wants to test for diabetes. His family history shows that the probability of getting diabetes is 0.6. He decides to do a h
lesantik [10]
So,

The probability of the man having diabetes is 0.6 or 60%.  Because we are figuring the probability BEFORE the test is taken that he has the disease, we can disregard the test and its accuracy rate.  That rate is 60%, the probability of him having diabetes.

The correct option is D.
