butalik [34]

Answer:

Regina has bought $2\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$ of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of fruit brought = $8\frac{7}{8}\ pounds$

Now given number is in mixed fraction we will convert into improper fraction.

To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, we will Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator. Add that to the numerator,Then write the result on top of the denominator.

So we can say that;

$8\frac{7}{8}\ pounds$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{71}{8}\ pounds$

Amount of fruit brought = $\frac{71}{8}\ pounds$

Also given:

Amount of oranges bought = $3\frac12\ pounds$

$3\frac12\ pounds$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{7}{2}\ pounds$

Amount of oranges bought = $\frac{7}{2}\ pounds$

Amount of peaches bought = $2 \frac34\ pounds$

$2 \frac34\ pounds$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{11}{4}\ pounds$

Amount of peaches bought = $\frac{11}{4}\ pounds$

We need to find amount of apples bought by Regina.

Solution:

Let the amount of apples bought be 'x'

Now we know that;

Amount of fruit brought is equal to sum of Amount of oranges bought and Amount of peaches bought amount of apples.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac{71}{8}=\frac{7}{2}+\frac{11}{4}+x\\\\x=\frac{71}{8}-\frac{7}{2}-\frac{11}{4}$

Now we will make the denominator common using LCM we get.

$x=\frac{71\times 1}{8\times 1}-\frac{7\times4}{2\times4}-\frac{11\times2}{4\times2}\\\\x=\frac{71}{8}-\frac{28}{8}-\frac{22}{8}$

Now denominators are same so we will solve the numerator.

$x=\frac{71-28-22}{8}\\\\x=\frac{21}{8}\ pounds$

Now $\frac{21}{8}\ pounds$ can be Rewritten as $2\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$

Hence Regina has bought $2\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$ of apples.

Brian rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total that is prime. Answer THIS P

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

5/12 or 15/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he rolls two dice, he has a total probability of 6 times 6 = 36. The pairs, that he could add up to primes are (1,1), (2,1) * 2 (since he can get 1,2 as well), (1,4) * 2, (2,3) * 2, (3,4) * 2, (5, 2) * 2, (6,1) * 2, (5, 6) * 2. This is 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, which is equal to 15. This is a total of 15/36 possible ways, which is also equal to 5/12.

1 inch = 2.54cm 1 mile = 1.6km a map has a scale of 1 inch represents 1 mile use the given conversions to show that 1cm on the m

lara31 [8.8K]

Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.

Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)

Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)

(2.0 x 104)(3.02 x 109) simplified form

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

68469.44

Multiplication is commutative so can be multiplied anyway

(2.0× 109)(3.02×104)

2.0 can be written as ( 20÷ 10) and 3.02 can be written as (302÷ 100)

(2× 109){(3.02÷ 100)× 104]

(218)(7852÷ 25)
