5 7/8 - 2 9/10

we can make 5 7/8 into an improper fraction of 47/8

we can also make 2 9/10 into an improper fraction of 29/10

find a common multiple between the denominators 10 and 8 - the smallest would be 40

47/8 will be made into 235/40

29/10 will be made into 116/40

235/40 - 116/40 = 119/40

simplify 119/40 and you get 2 39/40

decimal form is 2.975

Answer:

Average: 26.223529411764706 (Please round to the place value necessary since it does not say in the question.)

Step-by-step explanation:

We first find the number of items sold: 170

Then we find the total cost: 4458

We then divide 4458 by 170

We end up with the answer 26.223529411764706. (Please round to the place value necessary since it does not say in the question.)

Example

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The playground is 160ft by 360ft.

The model is 4in by 9in

First, 1ft = 12 inches.

Then the measures of the playground, in inches, is:

160*12in = 1920 in

360*12in = 4320in

The playground is 1920in by 4320in.

Then, the ratios between the measures of the playground and the model are:

1920in/4in = 480

4320in/9in = 480

This means that each inch in the model, represents 480 inches in the actual playground.

Choose the answer that validates that the rate of change is constant by showing that the ratios of the two quantities are propor

docker41 [41]

Given:

The table of values is

Number of Students : 7 14 21 28

Number of Textbooks : 35 70 105 140

To find:

The rate of change and showing that the ratios of the two quantities are proportional and equivalent to the unit rate.

Solution:

The ratio of number of textbooks to number of students are

$\dfrac{35}{7}=5$

$\dfrac{70}{14}=5$

$\dfrac{105}{21}=5$

$\dfrac{140}{28}=5$

All the ratios of the two quantities are proportional and equivalent to the unit rate.

Let y be the number of textbooks and x be the number of students, then

$\dfrac{y}{x}=k$

Here, k=5.

$\dfrac{y}{x}=5$

$y=5x$

Hence the rate of change is constant that is 5.
