The bag of grapefruit weighs 3 and 11/16
first: find a common denominator of 1/2, 5/8, and 3/16; 16 is the least common multiple.
16 divided by 2 is 8, so we multiply 1 by 8 and have 8/16
16 divided by 8 is 2, so we multiply 5 by 2 and have 10/16.
now, the three quantities given are 1 and 10/16, 2 and 3/16, and 7 and 8/16.
then, we subtract 1 and 10/16 from 7 and 8/16
  7 8/16
- 1 10/16
this is 5 and 7/8, or 5 and 14/16

then, we subtract 2 and 3/16 from 5 and 14/16 to get 3 and 11/16

there you have it :)

The area of a field shaped like a right triangle is 750yd^2.One leg of the field is fenced with wood costing $5/yd. the remainde
Elenna [48]
Assume that
 a and b = the two legs of the right triangle. 
 c =  the hypotenuse.

The area of the right triangle is 750 yd², therefore
(1/2)*a*b = 750
ab = 1500               (1)

The perimeter is 150yd, therefore
a + b + c = 150         (2)

Let the side fenced with wood be a, at $5/yd.  Sides b and c are fenced with steel at $10/y. The total cost is $1200, therefore
 5a + 10b + 10c = 1200            
or
a + 2b + 2c = 240         (3)

From (2), obtain 
c = 150 - a - b              (4)

Substitute (4) into (3)
a + 2b + 2(150 - a - b) = 240
-a + 300 = 240
a = 60

From (1), obtain
60b = 1500
b = 25

From (4), obtain
c = 150 - 60 - 25 = 65

Answer:
A. The length of the leg fenced with wood is 60 yd.
B.  The length of the leg fenced with steel is 25 yd.
