Answer: \dfrac{11}{20} yards

Step-by-step explanation:

By considering the given information , we have

The total initial length of ribbon = \dfrac{9}{10} yards

The length of ribbon she gave to her friend = \dfrac{7}{20} yards

The length of ribbon she has left = Initial length - Length she gave

=\dfrac{9}{10}-\dfrac{7}{20}

=\dfrac{9\times2}{10\times2}-\dfrac{7}{20} [Multiply 2 on numerator and denominator to the first fraction to make both fractions like.]

=\dfrac{18}{20}-\dfrac{7}{20}

=\dfrac{18-7}{20}=\dfrac{11}{20}

hence, the length of ribbon she has left = \dfrac{11}{20} yards

rewrite fraction s to have common denominator:

9/10 = 18/20

 now subtract:

18/20 - 7/20 = 11/20 left

When the positive integer n is divided by 7, the remainder is 2. What is the remainder when 5n is divided by 7?
ser-zykov [4K]

Therefore the reminder is 3 when 5n is divided by 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Dividend = quotient × Divisor +Reminder

⇔ n = Q(n) × 7 + 2          [ let Q(n)  is quotient]

multiplying by 5 both sides

5n = 5 Q(n) ×7 + 2×5

⇔5n = 5 Q(n) ×7 +10

⇔5n=  5 Q(n) ×7 +7 +3

⇔ 5n = (5Q(n) +1) × 7 +3

Therefore the reminder is 3 when 5n is divided by 7.

Two real solutions of tx^2+3x_7=0
Olegator [25]

The number of solutions of a quadratic equation

ax^2+bx+c=0

Depends on its discriminant

/Delta=b^2-4ac

If /Delta>0 there are two distinct solutions

If /Delta=0 there are two coincident solutions

If /Delta<0 there are no solutions.

We know that there are two real solutions (I assume you mean distinct solutions), so we know that the discriminant is positive:

A serving of ice cream contains 8500 calories. 1500 calories comes from fat. What percent of the total calories come from fat?
Genrish500 [490]
Perfect :)

Again, 1500/8500 ≈ 17.64%.

Again, write about 17.64% as, though i'm not sure about your teachers, but my teachers used to take marks off for that...

A company owns two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 8x + 17 widgets and 5x - 7 widgets, where x represents a
pogonyaev

Answer:

3x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Company owns two manufacting plants with the following daily production levels :

PLANT A:

8x + 17 widgets

PLANT B:

5x - 7 widgets

Where x = minimum quantity

How many more items does the first plant produce daily than the second plant?

Subtract the Plant B's production level from plant A

8x + 17 - (5x - 7)

8x + 17 - 5x + 7

Collecting like terms

8x - 5x + 17 + 7

3x + 24

Hence, the number of items the first plant produce daily than the second plant is :

3x + 24
