Answer: 7 9/10 gallons of paint  

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike needs:

Red paint: 4 4/5 gallons

Brown paint: 3 1/10 gallons

Those are mixed fractions. To facilitate, we need to transform them into Improper fraction (numerator > denominator), so:

4 4/5 = (5*4+4)/5 = 24/5

3 1/10 = (10*3+1) = 31/10

So, Mike needs:

Red paint: 4 4/5 gallons = 24/5

Brown paint: 3 1/10 gallons = 31/10

To find out how much gallons of paint he needs in total, we need to sum the amounts of red and brown paint:

<u>24</u> + <u>31</u> =<u> 48 + 31 </u>= <u>79</u>

5     10        10        10

So, he needs 79/10 gallons of paint. To transform into mixed fraction again:

79/10 = 70/10 + 9/10 = 7 + 9/10

7 9/10 gallons of paint

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The number of pink pens can be 19 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of pens = 20

Let x be the number of pink pens

We are supposed to find If the probability of choosing a pink pen is close to 1, how many pink pens would you expect to see in Amanda's bag

Probability of choosing a pink pen = \frac{\text{Number of pink pens}}{\text{Total Number of pens}}

Probability of choosing a pink pen =\frac{x}{20}

ATQ

\frac{x}{20}≈1

x≈20

So, the number of pink pens can be 19 .

A box without a top is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, with dimensions 27 centimeters by 18 centimeters, by cutting
GaryK [48]
By cutting each corner we have that the resulting dimensions are:
 27 - 2x
 18 - 2x
 Height = x
 Therefore, the volume of the box in terms of the variable x, is given by:
 V (x) = (x) * (27-2x) * (18-2x)
 Answer:
 
The volume of the box in terms of x is:
 
(27-x) (18-x) x

The decimal number 11.8 can be read as "eleven and eight tens."<br><br><br> True or False
Semmy [17]
I mean it could be read that way but that's the way most people read fractions. 11 and 8/10. Most people I know read decimals like that as 11 point 8. So yes I suppose it's true; it's not wrong, but most people don't say it like that. And I don't know how they taught you to read it in your math course.
