If you put this into the calculator, 4/20 is .2 and 7/8 is .875 therefore Abigail collected more. If you use them as the same denominator, you have 8/40 for Maya and 35/40. And if you add these two numbers together, you get 1.075 which is 43/40 as a fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

5/1 - 5/7

35/7 - 5/7

= 30/7 = 4 2/7 lb

Multiply the denominators, 7 by 5,and 1 by 7. When you have the same denominator in each fraction you can subtract. (7x4= 28, 30-28= 2)

Greenfield village is spread across 240 acres of land. Only 37% of the land is used for the exhibits, while the rest of the land
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The land which are used for exhibits are <u>89 acres</u> (approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Village is spread across 240 acres of land. 37%  of land is used for the exhibits.

Now, we have to find acres of land which are used for exhibits.

So, here it is given that land used for exhibits is 37%, and we have to calculate the quantity from the percentage given:

According to question:

37% of 240 acres of land.

\frac{37}{100}\times 240

0.37\times 240

88.80

So, the land used for exhibits are 88.80 acres.

Therefore, the land which are used for exhibits are <u>89 acres </u>(approximately).

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola with the equation y = x + 2x - 3?
loris [4]

Answer:

<em>The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,-4).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the Quadratic Function </u>

The vertex form of the quadratic function has the following equation:

y-k=a(x-h)^2

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola that results when plotting the function, and a is a coefficient different from zero.

We are given the function:

y=x^2+2x-3

We must transform the equation above by completing squares:

The first two terms can be completed to be the square of a binomial. Recall the identity:

x^2+2xy+y^2=(x+y)^2

Thus if we add and subtract 1:

y=(x^2+2x+1)-3-1

Operating:

y=(x^2+2x+1)-4

The trinomial in parentheses is a perfect square:

y=(x+1)^2-4

Adding 4:

y+4=(x+1)^2

Comparing with the vertex form of the quadratic function, we have the vertex (-1,-4).

The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,-4).
