Hello!

You already have the answer, but I'll show you how to get it:

Subtract 4 3/5 (That's his old height) from 5 3/8 (That's his new height):

5 3/8 - 4 3/5 = 0.625

Now you want to convert 0.625 to a fraction.

Simplify: 0.625 = 625/1000

And 625/1000 is equivalent to 5/8.

So, your answer is 5/8, and those were the steps to find it! ^^ I hope this was helpful! :)

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: 0.6375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the event that she'll make the first shot is given as P(A) while making the second shot is P(B). Therefore, P(A/B) = 0.85

Therefore, the probability that she makes both free throws will be denoted as:

= 0.75 × 0.85

= 0.6375

Lin's teacher uses the box to store her set of cubes with an edge length of one half inch. if the box is completely full, how ma
nlexa [21]

Answer:

448 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cubes fitted in the box will be equal to the cumulative volume of the cubes.

Since, volume of a cube = (Side)³

Side of the cube = \frac{1}{2} inch

Therefore, volume of the cube = (\frac{1}{2})^3=\frac{1}{8} inches

Volume of the storage box = 56 cubic inches

Since, number of cubes fitted in the storage box = \frac{\text{Volume of the storage box}}{\text{Volume of one cube}}

                                                                                 = \frac{56}{\frac{1}{8}}

                                                                                 = 56 × 8

                                                                                 = 448 cubes

Therefore, number of cubes fitted in the storage box = 448

Answer:

  • large: 55 lb
  • small: 30 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...

  x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box

  70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes

We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.

  (70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)

  20x = 1100 . . . . simplify

  x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20

Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.

  55 +y = 85

  y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55

A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
