john had a ribbon that was 1 1/2 meters long. he used 2 pieces that were each 1/3 of that length. how much ribbon did john use

1 answer:

5 0

Of means multiplication. So the question is 1/3 X 1 1/2. First make 1 1/2 improper: 3/2. Then multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominaters (bottom numbers): 1x3=3, 3x2=6, =3/6. Now simplify 3/6=1/2. Then multiply that by 2, since he used 2 pieces: 1/2x2=1. John used 1 meter :)

What is the converse of r->(~q v p)

alexira [117]

Answer:

$r => (\neg q \ \lor p) \ \equiv \ q \ \land \ \neg p => \neg r$

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, remember that the converse of $a => b$ is $\neg b => \neg a$ , therefore in this case $a = r \ \ , b = \neg q \ \lor p$

so $r => (\neg q \ \lor p) \ \equiv \ q \ \land \ \neg p => \neg r$

melisa1 [442]

The equation you can use is x + 3x = 428 with x as the number of cheeseburgers and 3x the number of hamburgers
you solve for x and get 4x= 428 and x=107

so 321 hamburgers were sold that day.

Simplify -19 – 1 + (–24)

IrinaK [193]

First subtract -19 - 1 = -20

Next, + (-24) is the same as just simply subtracting 24

-20 - 24

Subtract that and you get -44
