Number of pounds the other friend picked  =

5 1/4 - 1 3/8 - 2 1/2

= 21/4 - 11/8 - 5/2  The LCD of 2, 4 and 8 is 8 so we have:-

=  42/8 - 11/8 - 20/ 8

=  11/8

= 1 3/8 pounds Answer

Your making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 1/8 teaspoon salt to 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. How much salt is needed
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1/2 teaspoon salt

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make this into a ratio of salt:baking soda

1/8:1/4

now, how many 1/4 will we need to make 1?

If we multiply 1/4 by 4, we get one. So, we should do the same to 1/8!

1/8*2=4/8, or 1/2 teaspoon

Find the series in A.P whose sum to n terms is n*(n+2)​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .........

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S_{n} = n(n + 2) , then

S₁ = 1(1 + 2) = 1(3) = 3 ⇒ a₁ = 3

S₂ = 2(2 + 2) = 2(4) = 8

S₃ = 3(3 + 2) = 3(5) = 15

Thus

a₂ = S₂ - S₁ = 8 - 3 = 5

a₃ = S₃ - S₂ = 15 - 8 = 7

The first 3 terms are 3, 5, 7

This is an AP with common difference d = 2, then

a₄ = a₃ + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

a₅ = a₄ + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

and so on

One number exceeds another by 44. the sum of the numbers is 24. what are the​ numbers?
baherus [9]

Let, the numbers = x,y

x+y= 24   1st eqn

x-y = 44   2nd eqn

24-y-y = 44

-2y = 44-24

y = 20/-2 = -10

substitute that in equation 1st x = 24+10 = 34

so, the numbers would be 34 & -10
