What is the answer to 5 1/2 - 2/3

Mathematics

3 0

To solve this problem, we first have to convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the unit (5) times the denominator (2) and then add the numerator (1) to the product, while still keeping the same denominator.


(5 * 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11/2


Now, this makes our expression: 11/2 - 2/3


Next, we have to find a common denominator for 2 and 3 by finding their shared LCM, or least common multiple. In this case, the LCM is 6. This means that we are going to convert both of the fractions in the expression into fractions with the denominator 6, so that we can easily compute the subtraction.


11 * 3 / 2 * 3 - 2 * 2 / 3 * 2


33/6 - 4/6


Now, we can simply subtract the numerators to find our final answer.


29/6


Your final answer is 29/6.


Hope this helps!

In the literal equation below, what do C and F represent?
Zolol [24]
Answer: Variables

F and C are placeholders for numbers. They are called variables because they are allowed to vary, or change. If you change C then it affects F, and vice versa. If the values for the placeholders is not allowed to change, yet it holds a number, then it is considered a constant. In this case, we don't have constants or else the formula isn't too useful.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 1ST RIGHT ANSWER AS BRAINIEST The radius of a circle is x+6 and its diameter is 3x+5. What is the circumfe
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The circumference of the circle = 26π unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of the circle, r = "x+6"

Diameter of the circle, d = "3(x)+5"

We have to find the circumference of the circle in terms of pi.

Formula to be used:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr or πd

As we know that:

Radius = Half of diameter

So,

⇒ radius=\frac{diameter}{2}

⇒ x+6=\frac{3x+5}{2}

⇒ 2\times (x+6)=\frac{3x+5}{2}\times 2

⇒ 2x+12=3x+5

⇒ 12-5=3x-2x  ...<em>Arranging variables and constants. </em>

⇒ 7=x

Plugging x = 7 we will find the radius and the diameter.

⇒ Radius = "x+6" = "7+6" = 13

⇒ Diameter = "3(x)+5" = 3(7)+5 =26

Lets find the circumference of the circle.

⇒ Circumference = 2\pi r= 2\pi (13) = 26 \pi        Or

⇒ Circumference = \pi d=\pi (26)=26\pi

The circumference of the circle = 26π unit.
