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!

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

C. Trisha is shorter than 75% of girls aged 16 to 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a dataset is divided into four equal parts, the first part is called the lower quartile. The data is usually sorted in ascending order before finding quartiles.

The lower quartile contains 25% of the whole data. The values in lower quartile are are less than 75% of the values.

If Trisha's height is in lower quartile that means her height is less than the girls in middle and higher quartile.

Hence,

The correct answer is:

C. Trisha is shorter than 75% of girls aged 16 to 18.

Prove that if b is a square matrix then b+b^t is symmetric
WARRIOR [948]
A matrix \mathbf X is symmetric if \mathbf X=\mathbf X^\top. We have

(\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+(\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+\mathbf B=\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top

and so \mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top is indeed symmetric.
