Answer: 29.41 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following information given in the problem:

- The fat percentage that the person has is 17.2%

- The person weighs 171 pounds.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of pounds of her weight is made up of fat (which you can call x), you must multiply the weight of the person by the fat percentage.

Therefore, you obtain the following result:

$x=171lb*0.172\\x=29.41lb$

THERE ARE 3 BAGS OF APPLES WEIGHING A TOTAL OF 22 1/2 POUNDS. TWO OF THE BAGS WEIGH 6 3/8 POUNDS AND 3 1/4 POUNDS. HOW MUCH DOES

Mkey [24]

I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}$

Mala is y years old. Her sister is 4 years older than mala . Write expréssion in simplest form that represents the sum of ages o

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

$2(y+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y --->Mala's age

x---> sister's age

we know that

$x=y+4$ ---> equation A

The sum of ages of the sisters is

$x+y$

substitute equation A in the expression of the sum of ages

$(y+4)+y=2y+4$

simplify

$2(y+2)$

A jar contains chocolate candies. There are 12 red, 17 blue, 5 green and 6 orange. What is the probability of picking either a g

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you sum everything, you'll get 50 candies. Now you know that 50 candies is 100%.

Now you'll calculate the probability:

12 on 50 : 24.00 %

17 on 50 : 34.00 %

5 on 50 : 10.00 %

6 on 50 : 12.00 %

Hope I was helpful :)
