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.

10. When a rubber ball is dropped from a height, h cm on to a flat concrete floor, it rebounds to 3 5 h cm a height of Given a r
Xelga [282]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height above which the ball is released be H

This problem can be tackled using geometric progression.

The nth term of a Geometric progression is given by the above, where n is the term index, a is the first term and the sum for such a progression up to the Nth term is

To find the total distance travel one has to sum over up to n=3. But there is little subtle point here. For the first bounce ( n=1 ), the ball has only travel H and not 2H. For subsequent bounces ( n=2,3,4,5...... ), the distance travel is 2×(3/4)n×H

a=2H..........r=3/4

However we have to subtract H because up to the first bounce, the ball only travel H instead of 2H

Therefore the total distance travel up to the Nth bounce is

For N=3 one obtains

D=3.625H

What is the volume of a rectangular prism that is 16 meters by 25 meters by 37 meters?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

14,800

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of an object, simply multiply its hight, length, and width together.

16*25*37

16*25=400

400*37=14,800

The rectangular prism has a volume of 14,800.

Hope this helps!
