Write a decimal subtraction problem that requires regrouping to solve. then solve the problem

1 answer:

5 0

For example, think about 8.4 - 2.9.

You have to regroup because you can't subract 4 - 9.
4 turns into a 14 since you borrow from the left number, 8.
8 turns into a 7 after that.
Now, you have to subtract 14 - 9 and 7 - 2. You're answer is 5.5.
You can check your work by doing inverse opperations:
By adding:
5.5 + 2.9 = 8.4
Or by subracting 8.4 - 5.5 = 2.9

Hope this helped you! If you need a better explaination or another example, I will be happy to help you! :)

Zoe's Fish tank holds 27 L of water she uses a 3L container to fill the tank how many times does she have to fill the three litt

Marianna [84]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Zoe's Fish tank holds 27 L of water, so this is the capacity of the tank. On the other hand, Zoe uses a 3L container in order to fill the tank, so the question is how many times does she have to fill the three litter container in order to fill the fish tank? Let's solve this as follows:

First time:

She pours 3L

Second time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 3L, so she has poured 6L

Third time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 6L, so she has poured 9L

Fourth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 9L, so she has poured 12L

Fifth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 12L, so she has poured 15L

Sixth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 15L, so she has poured 18L

Seventh time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 18L, so she has poured 21L

Eighth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 21L, so she has poured 24L

Ninth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 24L, so she has poured 27L

<em>According to this, she needs to pours the </em><em>3L </em><em>container nine times in order to fill the fish tank. This can also be solved dividing </em><em>27L/3L= 9</em>

An aircraft on a reconnaissance mission takes off from its home base and flies 550 miles at a bearing of S 46° E to a location i

Alexandra [31]

<h3>Answer: D) 1692 miles</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

A diagram is very handy for this type of problem. Refer to the diagram below (attached image). Here are the steps used to form the diagram

Plot point A and make that the home base. Plot point D directly south of point A. I'm skipping B and C because those will be used to form the triangle later.
Imagine you are standing at point A and looking south at point D. Turn 46 degrees toward the east direction (this is what the notation "bearing of S 46° E" means). Then move 550 miles from A to land on point B. This is the location where the plane makes its first turn.
Plot the points E and F, which are north and south of point B.
Imagine we are at point B and looking directly south at point F. Turn 55 degrees toward the west, which is due to the "S 55° W" and then move 483 miles to arrive at point C. This is the plane's location where it turns around to go back to home base.

The diagram below shows all of this visually summarized. We have the segments

AB = 550 miles
BC = 483 miles
AC = x miles

And we have these angles

Angle DAB = 46 degrees and Angle ABE = 46 degrees (blue)
Angle ABC = 79 degrees (red)
Angle ACB = 55 degrees and Angle FBC = 55 degrees (green)

Angle ABC comes from the fact that the blue and green angles add with the red angle to get 180. So we basically need to solve 46+y+55 = 180 which leads to y = 79.

------------------------------

Once the diagram is set up, we'll use the law of cosines to find x.

Focus on triangle ABC. Ignore points D,E,F. Ignore any extra lines as well.

The interior angles of triangle ABC are

A = 46 degrees
B = 79 degrees
C = 55 degrees

The sides opposite the angles are

a = 483 (opposite angle A)
b = x (opposite angle B)
c = 550 (opposite angle C)

Now we can apply the law of cosines

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B)

x^2 = 483^2 + 550^2 - 2*483*550*cos(79)

x^2 = 434412.180756441

x = sqrt(434412.180756441)

x = 659.099522649229

x = 659

Side AC, or CA, is roughly 659 miles long.

------------

To find the total distance the plane travels, we add up the three sides of the triangle (ie we find the perimeter)

Distance Traveled = AB + BC + CA

Distance Traveled = 550 + 483 + 659

Distance Traveled = 1692 miles
