So basically the question just wants you to add fractions so we set up the problem like this
1/2+1/5+1/8=weight of herbs=x (x signifies an unknown number)

so we have to get the bottom numbers the same before we can add them so we have to find the smallest number that they all can multiply into
so
       2=2
       5=5
       8=2*2*2
       so the smallest number that that will go into all three of the numbers is
     2*2*2*5 =40
so the bottom number will be 40
so 1/2 is equal to 20/40
1/5=8/40
1/8=5/40
so 20/40+8/40+5/40=33/40
answer is 33/40 grams
so

Determine if the segment lengths form a triangle. If so, would the triangle be acute, right, or obtuse? 4.1, 8.2, 12.2
goldfiish [28.3K]
Three line segments can form a triangle if the length of the longest segment is greater than the sum of the lengths of the shorter segments.

 4.1 + 8.2 \ \textgreater \  12.2 \\&#10;12.3 \ \textgreater \  12.2 \\&#10;true
They can form a triangle.

Now if c is the length of the longest side and a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides, then:
- if c^2=a^2+b^2, the triangle is right
- if c^2\ \textless \ a^2+b^2, the triangle is acute
- if c^2\ \textgreater \ a^2+b^2, the triangle is obtuse

4.1^2+8.2^2=16.81+67.24=84.05 \\&#10;12.2^2=148.84 \\ \\&#10;148.84\ \textgreater \ 84.05
The triangle is obtuse.

The answer is D.
