Answer:

Weight = \frac{23}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Weight of Pinata = 11/4 lb

Weight of candies = 3/8, 3/8, 1/2 , 1/2, 1/2, 3/4, 3, 11/4

Required

Weight of Pinata when filled with candies

To solve this question, we simply need to add all weights together

First, we need to add up the weight of the candies

Candies =  \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{3}{4} + 3 + \frac{11}{4}

Take LCM

Candies = \frac{3 + 3 + 4 +4 + 4 + 6 + 24 + 22}{8}

Candies = \frac{70}{8}

Simplify:

Candies = \frac{35}{4}

Next; Add the weight of the candies to the weight of pinata

Weight = Candies + Pinata

Weight = \frac{35}{4} + \frac{11}{4}

Take LCM

Weight = \frac{35 + 11}{4}

Weight = \frac{46}{4}

Simplify

Weight = \frac{23}{2}

<em>Hence, the weight of the Pinata after it is filled with candies is 23/2 lb</em>

taurus [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the library surveyed 240 people and only 15% chose documentaries, then only 36 people chose documentaries and the other 204 chose something else other than documentaries. You had to get 15% into decimal form and to do that you move the "." in 15.0% left 2 places so you get 0.15. Then you multiply 240 by 0.15 and you get 36.

We have a circle of radius 5 m inside a square of side 10 m. The shaded area is:

A_{\text{Shaded}}=A_{\text{Square}}-A_{\text{Circle}}

Now, we calculate the area of the square and the circle:

\begin{gathered} A_{\text{Square}}=10^2=100m^2 \\ A_{\text{Circle}}=\pi\cdot5^2=25\pi m^2 \end{gathered}

Finally, the shaded area is:

A_{\text{Shaded}}=100-25\pi\approx21.5m^2
