Answer:

The total weight of the beef sold was 6 11/14 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting this info in a symbolic equation, we get:

2(1 1/7 lb) + 4 1/2 lb.

Perform the multiplication first:  2 2/7 + 4 1/2 (lb)

Here the LCD is 14; 2 2/7 = 16/7; and 4 1/2 = 9/2.

We need to combine 16/7 and 9/2.  Rewriting them using the LCD, we get:

32/14+63/14 = 95/14.  Rewriting this 95/14 as a mixed number, we get:

6.7857 lb (to four decimal places), or 6 11/14 lb.

The total weight of the beef sold was 6 11/14 lb.

Solve: (x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38
Rainbow [258]
First you have to rewrite the equation:
(x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Second you have to write the division as fraction:
(¼x) + 8 = 38

Third you have to take off the unecessary bracket:

¼x + 8 = 38

Fourth multiply 8 and 38 by 4
x + 32 = 152

Fifth step move the constant to the right hand and change the sign.
x = 152 - 32

Then subtract:

x = 120

Hope this helps :))

Michele wanted to measure the height of her school’s flagpole. She placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole, then
yulyashka [42]
Height of the flagpole = x
distance from flagpole to the mirror = 48 ft
height of Michele = 5 ft
distance from Michele to the mirror = 12 ft

Now, set the proportion.

x/48 = 5/12
48 * x/48 = 5/12 * 48
x = 240/12
x = 20

So, the height of the flagpole is 20 ft.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!
