<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

                 B.   2 pounds.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Juan’s bag of apples that he bought weighed 31/7 pounds.

Ari’s bag of oranges that she bought weighed 19/3 pounds.

Let Ari's bag be x times heavier than Juan's bag.

This means that:

x=\dfrac{19}{3}-\dfrac{31}{7}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{19\times 7-31\times 3}{21}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{133-93}{21}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{40}{21}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=1.904

which is approximately equal to 2 pounds.

The amount by which Ari's bag is heavier then the Juan's Bag is approx : 2 pounds

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 38 meters and a height of 12 meters?
8090 [49]

For this case we have by definition that the area of a parallelogram is given by:

A = b * h

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

According to the data we have:

b = 38\ m\\h = 12 \ m

Substituting in the formula:

A = 38 * 12\\A = 456

The area of the parallelogram is A = 456 \ m ^ 2

Answer:

A = 456 \ m ^ 2

aleksley [76]
20/3 - Take the 6 2/3, multiply the 6 and the 3 (6 x 3 = 18), then add the 2 (18 + 2 = 20). Put that number over the original 3 and you've got yourself a mixed number.
