Answer:

- 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you first change the fractions numbers in to decimal form

so; 2/5 = 0.4

-7/8 = - 0.875

hence; 0.4 + (-0.875)

= - 0.475

in to its simplest form = - 0.5

the answer is - 0.5

For a diamond problem what two numbers' sums equal 31 and their product is 234?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Let

x-------> the first number

y------> the second number

we know that

$x+y=31$

$x=31-y$

equation $1$

$x*y=234$

equation $2$

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

$(31-y)*y=234\\ 31y-y^{2} =234\\ -y^{2} +31y-234=0$

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation

see the attached figure

the solution is

$13 and 18$

Circle A has an area of 452.16ft2. With a radius of 12 ft. If circle B has a radius of 17 ft, what is it’s area?

ehidna [41]

Answer: 907.92 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a circle, which is shown below:

$A=r^{2}\pi$

Where r is the radius of the circle.

2. You know the radius of the circle B, therefore, when you susbtitute it into the formula, you obtain that the area of the circle B is:

$A_B=(17ft)^{2}\pi=907.92ft^{2}$

solong [7]

There are 24 hours in a day, so if it chimes twice in an hour it will chime 24*2 or 48 times a day. There are 7 days in a week, so it will chime 48*7 or 336 times.

A boy purchased(bought) a party length sandwich 59 in long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is 6in

Leviafan [203]

Ok so let's start with what we know- the shortest piece is 8 inches so there's one length... then the middle piece is 6 inches longer than the shortest (6+ 8) so the middle piece would be 14 inches long. To find the last piece we can add up the other two pieces we know (14+8) which would be 22 and subtract that from how long the whole sandwich is (59-22) which would be 37 inches long. So in the end he shortest piece would be 8 inches, the middle 14 inches and the longest 37 inches.
