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.
An architect plans to make a drawing of the room of a house. The segment LM represents the ceiling of the room. He wants to construct a line passing through Q and perpendicular to side LM to represent a wall of the room. He uses a straightedge and compass to complete some steps of the construction, as shown below:

Answer:
8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...
1.012^500
The number of doublings is the solution to ...
2^n = 1.012^500
Taking logarithms, we have ...
n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)
n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046
About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.
Answer:
The frequency does not change with more trials
Step-by-step explanation:
To predict: the probability of the coin landing heads up
Solution:
Probability refers to the chances that an event will occur in an experiment. The value of probability lies between 0 and 1. 0 indicates impossible event and 1 indicates a sure event. The probability of an event can not be greater than 1.
When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H), tails (T).
In case of the probability of the coin landing heads up, the frequency does not change with more trials.
