Here is the set up:

(3/4)[(11/8) + (11/9) + (7/8)]

Do the math to find your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he is going to use 3/4 of a gallon of each you are just subtracting 3/4 from each value.  so

1 1/8 - 3/4

1 1/9 - 3/4

7/8 - 3/4

For me, I always turn mixed numbers into improper fractions.  Pleae let me know if you don't know how to do this.

9/8 - 3/4

10/9 - 3/4

7/8 - 3/4

Now, to subtract fractions you want them to have the same denominator.  For example, 3/5 - 1/2 you have t change both to be 6/10 - 5/10 = 1/10.  So, how do we do that for each?

9/8 and 3/4 is easy, we can make 3/4 = 6/8 so then it's 9/8-6/8 = 3/8

10/9 - 3/4 is kinda unpleasant.  We have to change both.  The easiest thing to do is multiply the numerator and denominator of one by the denominator of the other.  That might be confusing so I'l write it out.

(10*4)/(9*4) - (3*9)/(4*9) = 40/36 - 27/36  then just subtract like you did for the last one.  Also keep in mind you have to look out if you can simplify.

The last one is just like the first.  Can you manage it yourself?  If not I can walk you through it a bit?

A bus can carry a maximum of 60 passengers. Each row accommodates the same number of passengers. If two rows are added then each
kati45 [8]

Answer:

10 rows with 6 passengers per row

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rows and y the number of passengers per row.

Then we can interpret the story as the following two equations:

xy=60

(x+2)(y-1)=60

Solving these two equations:

y=60/x

(x+2)(60/x-1)=60     (substitute y)

60 - x + 120/x - 2 = 60 (multiply by -x)

x² + 2x - 120 = 0     (factor)

(x-10)(x+12) = 0

x = 10

y = 60/10 = 6

and indeed 10 * 6 = 60 and also 12 * 5 = 60

I don't understand this I need someone to explain the answer​
Temka [501]

So,

Proportion basically means, that something is proportional

Example: A rope's length and weight are in proportion.

It's in proportion because the longer the rope, the more the weight

so, let's say

A popcorn machine costs 20 an hour

And in order to rent one, you have to pay $32 dollars

So you pay 32 for the machine, then 20 for every hour you use it

the number of hours used WOULD be proportional to the cost because

the more hours used, the more the cost

your final answer: YES it is proportional

3. Samuel tiene 11 cajas con mosaicos cuadrados de 20 cm por
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Primero veamos el área de la pared, es decir, el área total que Samuel debe cubrir.

La pared es de 3m por 2m.

Entonces el area es:

A = 3m*¨2m = 6m^2.

Ahora veamos los mosaicos.

Cada mosaico es un cuadrado de 20cm por 20cm.

El primer paso sería cambiar las unidades para tener metros aca también.

1cm = 0.01m

entonces.

20cm = 20*0.01m = 0.2m.

Entonces cada mosaico es:

0.2m por 0.2m

El área de cada mosaico es:

a = 0.2m*0.2m = 0.04m^2.

En una caja de mosaicos hay 14 mosaicos, entonces con una caja Samuel puede cubrir 14 veces a, o:

14*0.04m^2 = 0.56m^2.

Y Samuel tiene 11 cajas, entonces tenemos 11 veces lo de arriba:

11*0.56m^2 = 6.16m^2.

Y el área de la pared es 6m^2.

6.16m^2 > 6m^2

Entonces con las 11 cajas de mosaicos podemos cubrir completamente esa pared, y vamos a tener algunos mosaicos sobrantes.

Entonces Samuel no debe comprar mas cajas.

How do you solve [x^2(2x+3)]^3 ?
Bond [772]

Answer:

here's the steps

Step-by-step explanation:

first of the numbers inside the [ ] is always positive.Now since the 3 is outside the [ ] you use it like a tool and don't change it, so nothing happen to it.since ^3 is missing a base (variable, cannot remember exact name) but is not missing ^3, which make them alike enough to multiply because 3 is outside of () nut the ^3 will stay the same (don't know why but that's how math works)
