First you would start getting the denominators to the same number and you could do this by multiplying 9/10 by 4, and 7/8 by 5 to get the denominators to 40 and when you add the fractions you get 71/40 so the answer would be D. About 2

Hey there James!

Your answer: 71/40 = 1.77500 which is about 2.

We simplify 7/8

9/10 + 7/8

We find that the least common multiple is 40.

So we do, $\frac{9*4+7*5}{40} = 71/40$

Your answer is about 2.

Q # 4 Simplify the product

timama [110]

For this case we have the following product:
$(x-4) (x + 3)
$
We must use the distributive property correctly to solve the problem.
We have then:
$x ^ 2 + 3x - 4x - 12
$
Then, we must add similar terms.
We have then:
$x ^ 2 - x - 12
$
Answer:
The final product is given by:
$x ^ 2 - x - 12
$
option 2

What percent of discount should be given in a doll costing Rs 180

wolverine [178]

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is:

$180 * (x)% = $y

Therefore $180 - $y = $160

Now:

180 - 160 = 20

Therefore; $20 is the discount

Now per cent of discount:

20/180 * 100 = 11.111111111111111111111%

therefore: per cent of discount is 11.11% (rounded to two decimal place)

Mr jones is planning to pant grass and place afence in a small area for his dog. The rectagular dimension are 12×15 feet. The gr

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The dimension of rectangular field

Length of rectangular field = L = 12 feet

width of rectangular field = w = 15 feet

The cost of grass per square foot = 50 cents = $0.5 ( ∵ 1 cents = $0.01 )

The cost of small fence = $8 per linear foot

Now, According to question

A ) Let The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A feet

∵ Perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × Length + 2 × width

Or, A = 2 × L + 2 × w

Or, A = 2 × 12 feet + 2 × 15 feet

Or, A = 24 feet + 30 feet

∴ A = 54 feet

So, The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A = 54 feet

B ) Let The total cost of fence = $B

So, The total cost of fence = The cost of small fence × perimeter of fence

i.e B = $8 × 54 feet

∴ B = $432

So,The total cost of fence = B = $432

C) Let the square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C square feet

∵The Area of rectangular fence = Length × width

Or, The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = Area of rectangular fence = L × w

i.e C = 12 feet × 15 feet

Or, C = 180 feet²

So,The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C = 180 square feet

D) Let The total cost of grass = $D

∵ The cost of grass per square foot = $0.5

So,Total cost of grass = $0.5 × Area of fence

i.e D = $0.5 × 180 feet²

Or, D = $90

So, The Total cost of grass = D = $90

E) Let the total cost of the project = $E

∵Mr. Jones spend additional $50 for tools

So, The total cost of the project = money spent on tools + total cost of fence + Total cost of grass

i.e E = $50 + B + D

Or, E = $50 + $432 + $90

∴ E = $572

So, The total cost of the project = E = $572

Hence,

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572 Answer
