assuming the question is stating he picked 1 and 3/4 bushels from his kitchen garden then the answer is 16 whole bushels or 16.8
Answer:
3 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume your intended question is ...
"Find the actual sum of 1 3/4 + 1 5/8 to determine how much David grew in two years. Explain ..." (Proper word choice and punctuation help communication.)
The sum of the two given mixed numbers can be found several ways. One way is to write the fractions using a common denominator:
1 3/4 + 1 5/8 = 1 6/8 + 1 5/8 = (1 +1) +(6/8 +5/8) = 2 + 11/8 = 3 3/8
David grew 3 3/8 in two years.
__
Both numbers are near and slightly more than 1.5, so their sum will be near and slightly more than 3.
Step-by-step:
Use slope formula to find the slope. (y - y)/(x - x)
Make sure the x and y in front of the minus is a pair that goes together, as well as the x and y behind the minus sign. So
8 - -4 goes on top, that's 12
0 - -1 goes under, thats 1
12/1 is the slope which is just 12. Use either point to fill in the second x and the second y in the point-slope equation. m is the slope.
y - y = m(x - x)
y - 8 = 12(x - 0)
y - 8 = 12x
The answer is A. 6 and 10
Step 1: Add the two equations together to get just one equation.
2x + y + x - y = 5 + 1
Step 2: Simplify.
3x = 6
Step 3: Divide by 3 on both sides.
3x / 3 = 6 / 3
x = 2
Therefore, the answer is x=2
