Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

= ( 16 3/9 ) - ( 10 2/5 )

First we will convert each of the mixed numerals into improper fractions. To obtain the numerator for each of the improper fractions, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. To obtain the denominator for each of the improper fractions, simply keep the same denominator used in the mixed numerals.

= ( 147 / 9 ) - ( 52 / 5 )

Next we will make the denominator of both of the improper fractions the same. To achieve this, we will first find the lower common multiple ( LCM ) of the two denominators.

LCM of 9 and 5 = 45

Then we will multiply both the numerator and denominator in 147 / 9 by 5 and we will multiply both the numerator and denominator in 52 / 5 by 9.

= ( 735 / 45 ) - ( 468 / 45 )

= ( 735 - 468 ) / 45

After that we will solve the subtraction in the numerator and leave the denominator alone.

= 267 / 45

OR

= 5 42 / 45

As this can't be further simplified, we will leave the answer alone.

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the final answer is:

= 267 / 45

OR

= 5 42 / 45

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

a = 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given is an isosceles right triangle.

So, by Pythagoras theorem:

{a}^{2}  +  {a}^{2}  =  {(8 \sqrt{2} )}^{2}  \\  \\ 2 {a}^{2}  = 128 \\  \\  {a}^{2}  =  \frac{128}{2}  \\  \\  {a}^{2}  = 64 \\  \\ a =  \sqrt{64}  \\  \\ a = 8 \: m

Joan works on commission for a furniture store. She gets a base pay of $85 a day plus 6 percent of the
podryga [215]

Answer:

Correct expression: 85 + 0.06(t - 400)

Correct earnings: $91

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression Joan wrote is incorrect because instead, $85, she put $400 as her base salary. The correct expression would be 85 + 0.06(t - 400), where 85 is her base pay in dollars, and t - 400 represents her sales in dollars exceeding $400.

If Joan's sales were $500, she would not make $424.90, but

85 + 0.06(t - 400)

85 + 0.06(500 - 400)

85 + 0.06(100)

85 + 6

$91

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

SpyIntel [72]

Hey there! I"m happy to help!

We see that 1 inch is equal to 5.6 miles for this scale factor. If we have three inches, we simply multiply 5.6 by 3 to figure out how many miles this is!

5.6(3)=16.8

Therefore, Janet's home is 16.8 miles from her office.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The function f(x)=5x+4f(x)=5x+4 models the height of a tree, where x represents the years since the tree was planted for year 3
Romashka [77]
"<span>all real numbers between 3 and 10 inclusive" could not be the answer, because these are x-values (values of the independent variable).

"</span><span>all real numbers between 19 and 54 inclusive" is the range.  Why?  Because in year 3, f(3) = height of tree = 5(3) + 4 = 19 feet.  

In year 10, f(10) = 5(10) + 4 = 54 feet. </span>
