Answer:

9\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = 4\dfrac{2}{3}

Friend = 5\dfrac{5}{6}

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = 4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}

=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the /dfrac{2}{3} into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}

So now we have:

=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}

=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}

Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

20-10\dfrac{1}{2}

=9\dfrac{1}{2}

So Kimane and his friend still need to get 9\dfrac{1}{2} more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.

Answer:

  140°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1 and 3 are "corresponding" angles, so are congruent.

  ∠1 = ∠3

  20x +60 = 30x +20

  40 = 10x . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20x+20

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

  ∠1 = 20x +60 = 20(4) +60 = 80 +60

  ∠1 = 140°

LekaFEV [45]
100%/x%=80/20 (100/x)*x=(80/20)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x 100/4=x 25=x x=25
