THERE ARE 3 BAGS OF APPLES WEIGHING A TOTAL OF 22 1/2 POUNDS. TWO OF THE BAGS WEIGH 6 3/8 POUNDS AND 3 1/4 POUNDS. HOW MUCH DOES

THE THIRD BAG WEIGH?

I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}

parallelogram PQRS has PQ=RS=8 cm and diagonal QS= 10 cm. point F is on RS exactly 5 cm from S. let T be the intersection of PF
Doss [256]

<u>Solution-</u>

Given that,

In the parallelogram PQRS has PQ=RS=8 cm and diagonal QS= 10 cm.

Then considering ΔPQT and ΔSTF,

1-    ∠FTS ≅ ∠PTQ            ( ∵ These two are vertical angles)

2-   ∠TFS ≅ ∠TPQ            ( ∵ These two are alternate interior angles)

3-   ∠TSF ≅ ∠TQP            ( ∵ These two are also alternate interior angles)

<em>If the corresponding angles of two triangles are congruent, then they are said to be similar and the corresponding sides are in proportion.</em>

∴ ΔFTS ∼ ΔPTQ, so corresponding side lengths are in proportion.

\Rightarrow \frac{PQ}{FS} =\frac{TQ}{TS} =\frac{TP}{TF}

As QS = TQ + TS = 10 (given)

If TS is x, then TQ will be 10-x. Then putting these values in the equation

\Rightarrow \frac{PQ}{FS} =\frac{TQ}{TS}

\Rightarrow \frac{8}{5} =\frac{10-x}{x}

\Rightarrow x=3.85

∴ So TS = 3.85 cm and TQ is 10-3.85 = 6.15 cm

The equation of the parabola is (y-1)^2 = 16(x+3)
Mandarinka [93]
We know that 

if  the y terms is squared so it opens left or right

Is a Horizontal Parabola, the equation is of the form
(y-k)²=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and
p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directrix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and directrix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directrix is to the right of vertex

so
(y-1)²=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so directrix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directrix is x=-7

the answer is
x=-7

see the attached figure

What is the least common multiple between 8 10 and 12
DochEvi [55]
The LCM is the lowest number that is a multiple of all three numbers. 
First, list the multiples of each number
8: 8, 16, 24, 32,40 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120
10: 10, 20, 30 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120

The LCM is 120 because there is no lower number that is a multiple of all three numbers.
Hope this helped!
