Subtract 3/5 from 1 2/3.

Re-write the problem as "subtract 3/5 from 5/3."

 5     3
--- - -----
 3      5

Note that the LCD here is (3)(5) = 15.
Multiply 5/3 by (15/15) and also multiply 3/5 by (15/15).  Your result should be 

     25          9
   -------  -  -----
      15        15

Subtracting, we get   16/15.  This is the answer.  The green peppers weighed 16/15 lb, or 1 1/15 lb, more than did the other peppers.

A man walks at the rate of 88 paces to the minute if the average length of his paces is 0.875m, find the time take to walk 2.31k
Nataly [62]

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk rate = 88 paces/ minute

Average length of pace = 0.875 m

Time taken to walk 2.31 km ;

The distance in metres :

1000 m = 1 km

2.31 km = (1000 * 2.31) = 2310 m

Recall :

Time taken = distance / speed

Distance walked in a minute = 88 * 0.875 = 77 m

Time taken = 2310 / 77

Time taken = 30 minutes

Which Graph correctly solves the equation below? -1/2x^2 +2 = 2x^2 -8
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

see attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

-  \frac{1}{2}  {x}^{2}  + 2 = 2 {x}^{2}  - 8

The graph of the left hand side of this equation is

y =  -  \frac{1}{2}{x}^{2}  + 2

This quadratic graph has its vertex at (0,2) and turns upside down.

The right hand side of the equation is

y = 2 {x}^{2}  - 8

This quadratic graph opens upwards and has its vertex at (0,-8).

The two graphs intersects at two points , which are (-2,0) and (2,0).
