Which is the best estimate for the sum of 3/8 and 1/12¿

Mathematics

SashulF [63]3 years ago

Estimating is an educated guess, so 3/8 is just less than half, and 1/12 is just a bit more than 0.  So you could estimate that 3/8 + 1/12 = roughly 1/2

<span> if you add 3/8 and 1/12 you get 11/24</span>

What is the area of a rectangle that is 1 1 4 1 4 1 ​ 1, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction meters long and 3 4 4 3
hjlf

Answer:

4 11/16 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle = Length × Width

From the question:

Length = 1 1/4 m

Width = 3 3/4m

Area of the rectangle =

1 1/4 m × 3 3/4 m

= 5/4 m × 15/4 m

= 75/16 m²

= 4 11/16 m²

Area of the rectangle = 4 11/16 m²

PLEASE HELP... VERY URGENT... WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Pythagorean theorem,

altitude² + base² = hypotenuse²

h²  + (w² - 1)² = (w² + 1)²

                    h² = (w² + 1)² - (w² - 1)²    

{Compare with (a + b)² - (a -b)² = 4ab where a =w² & b = 1}

                   h² = 4*w²*1

                   h² = 4w²

                   h=\sqrt{4w^{2}} = \sqrt{2*2*w*w} \\\\\\h = 2w

b) Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2}b*h

                               =\dfrac{1}{2}*(w^{2}-1) *2w\\\\= (w^{2}-1)*w = w^{2}*w - 1*w\\\\=w^{3}-w

c) w =2

Area of triangle = 3w = 3*2 = 6

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 71 pounds for every 2.5 gallons of volume. Express this density in tons
kvasek [131]

Answer:

d=3.75\ \text{tons per cubic meter}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a certain material, m = 71 pounds

Since, 1 ton = 2000 pounds

71 pounds = 0.0355 ton

Volume of the material, V = 2.5 gallons

Since, 1 m³ = 264.172 gallon

2.5 gallon = (2.5/264.172 ) m³

Density,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{0.0355\ \text{tons}}{\dfrac{2.5}{264.172}\ m^3}\\\\d=3.75\ \text{tons per cubic meter}

How to do that? Thanks

9) We need to find the limit as x approaches 2 of f(x) - g(x).
When we are approaching a certain value, we are essentially finding values that are infinitesimally approaching x = 2, to the point where we find the exact value when x hits 2.

Thus, by substituting x = 2 into f(x) - g(x), we are finding the value at which the functions' difference hits x = 2.

\lim_{x \to 2} [f(x) - g(x)] = \lim_{x \to 2}[\frac{3x + 2}{4} - x^{2} + 3]
= \frac{3(2) + 2}{4} - 2(2)^{2} + 3
= \frac{8}{4} - 8 + 3
= 2 - 8 + 3
= -3

Every other question repeats this process, so by applying the above process, your answers should come out smoothly.
Let me know if you need any more assistance, and I can guide you through them.
