Hello there,
I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy during this winter season.

We need to use the Quadratic Formula*
, 
Thus, given the problem:

So now we just need to plug them in the Quadratic Formula*
, 
As you can see, it is a mess right now. Therefore, we need to simplify it
, 
Now that's get us to the final solution:
, 
It is my pleasure to help students like you! If you have additional questions, please let me know.
Take care!

A composite number is one that can be made by multiply two numbers to each other. Since 49=7*7, 49 is a composite number.
Check:
You can check a multiplication chart, but you will see that 49 is the only one that can be multiplied by 2 numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).
like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...
what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?
the same : 16.
and what is half of 16 ? 8.
so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.
so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.
what was left was
15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound
Mixed number form: h = - 1 2/13 Hope that helps :))
