Answer:

A. 4 2/3 hours

B. (i) 9 4/5 hours

(ii) 1 19/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, to find the number of hours he used in visiting old folks, what we have to do is to multiply the fraction of hours he used by the total number of hours.

Mathematically, that would be;

4/7 * 8 1/6

8 1/6 is same as 49/6

So the number of hours he spent visiting old folks would be ;

49/6 * 4/7 = 14/3 = 4 2/3 hours

B. What we do here is simply multiply the fraction now by what he spent last year.

That would be 1 1/5 * 8 1/6 hours

= 6/5 * 49/6 = 49/5 = 9 4/5 hours

ii) Now we want to know how much more time will be spent this year than last year.

What to do here simply is to subtract the time taken last year from what we have this year

That would be;

49/5 - 49/6 = 49/30 = 1 19/30

Hep me on this please
Alona [7]

Answer:

The answer is 2240m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the formula of area of trapezium is A = 1/2×(a+b)×h where a and b represents the length and h is height :

area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times (a + b) \times h

let \: a = 50 \\ let \: b = 90 \\ let \: h = 32

area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times (50 + 90) \times 32

area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 140 \times 32

area = 70 \times 32

area = 2240 \:  {m}^{2}

Answer in factored form x^2+11x+7
KATRIN_1 [288]
X² <span>+ 11x + 7

because 7 is a prime number, this doesn't factor prettily. you'll want to use the quadratic formula; if you aren't familiar with it, i'd either research it or look it up in your textbook, because it's clunky and not easily understood in this format:

(-b </span>± √((b)² - 4ac))/(2a)

in your equation x² + 11x + 7 ... a = 1, b = 11, and c = 7. what you do is you take the coefficients of every term, then plug it into your equation:
(-11 ± √((11)² - 4(1)(7))/(2(1))

not pretty, i know. but, regardless, you can simplify it:
(-11 ± √((11)² - 4(1)(7))/(2(1))
(-11 ± √(121 - 28))/2
(-11 ± √93)/2

and you can't simplify it further. -11 isn't divisible by 2, and 93 doesn't have a perfect square that you can take out from beneath the radical. the ± plus/minus symbol indicates that you have 2 answers, so you can write them out separately:

(x - (-11 - √93)/2) and (x + (-11 - √93)/2)

they look confusing, but those are your two factors. they can be simplified just slightly by changing the signs in the middle due to the -11:

(x + (11 + √93)/2) (x - (11 - √93)/2)

and how these would read, just in case the formatting is too confusing for you: x plus the fraction 11 + root 93 divided by 2. the 11s and root 93s are your numerator, 2s are your denominator.
