All bags: 22 1/2 pounds
First bag: 6 3/8 pounds
Second bag: 3 1/4 pounds
Third bag: ???

First of all we need to find the common denominator for all the fractions.

22 1/2 = 22 4/8
3 1/4 = 3 2/8

Now we add both known bags and them substract the result from overall the weight:

6 3/8 + 3 2/8 = 9 5/8
22 4/8 - 9 5/8 = 12 7/8

So the answer is C.

Answer: C -12 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Total weight: 22 1/2 pounds </em>
  • <em>Bag 1 = 6 3/8 pounds </em>
  • <em>Bag 3 = 3 1/4 pounds </em>

First, we have to sum the weights of bag 1 and 2:

6 3/8 + 3 1/4=

6 3/8 + 3 2/8 = 9 5/8

Finally we subtract the number calculated to the total weight.

22 1/2 - 9 5/8=

22 4/8 -9 5/8=

21 (8/8 +4/8) - 9 5/8 =

21 12/8 - 9 5/8=

12 7/8

3rd bag weight: 12 7/8 pounds

K is the midpoint of JL JK=3x-1 and KL=2x+8 find JL
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

JL = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that K is the midpoint of JL.

So, JK = KL ......... (1)

Now, given that, JK =3x - 1 and KL = 2x + 8  

Therefore, from equation (1), we can write  

3x - 1 = 2x + 8

⇒ x = 9

So, JK = 3x - 1 = 3(9) -1 = 26 and KL = 2x + 8 = 2(9) + 8 = 26

Hence, JL = JK + KL = 26 + 26 = 52. (Answer)

In a poll, 6 out of 13 children said they read every night before bed, whereas 54% of the adults said they read every night befo
Tpy6a [65]
To answer this question you must find the percentage of the children that read before bed and compare it to the adults bag read before bed’s percentage.
To do this, start by dividing the number of children that read before bed by the total number of children surveyed.
This leaves you with:
6/13= 0.4615

To find the actual percentage, multiply this result by 100.
0.4615 x 100 = 46.15
This percentage rounded is 46%

So, now you can compare the percentages. The percentage of children that read before bed is 46% and the percentage of adults that read before bed is 54%. So, the group with the greatest percentage was the adults.

I hope this helps!
