\displaystyle\\
1 \frac{2}{5} +\Big(-5 \frac{1}{2} \Big) = ? \\  \\ 
1 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{1\times 5+2}{5}=\boxed{\frac{7}{5}} \\  \\ 
-5 \frac{1}{2} =-5 -\frac{1}{2} = \frac{-5\times2-1}{2} =\frac{-10-1}{2}=\frac{-11}{2}= \boxed{-\frac{11}{2} }\\  \\ \texttt{OR} \\  \\ 
-5 \frac{1}{2} = -\Big(5 \frac{1}{2} \Big)= -\Big( \frac{5\times2+1}{2} \Big)=-\Big( \frac{11}{2} \Big)= \boxed{-\frac{11}{2} }


\displaystyle\\
\Longrightarrow ~~1 \frac{2}{5} +\Big(-5 \frac{1}{2} \Big) =\frac{7}{5} -\frac{11}{2} = \frac{7\times 2}{5\times 2} -\frac{11\times 5}{2\times 5} = \\  \\ 
= \frac{14}{10} -\frac{55}{10} = \frac{14-55}{10} =\frac{-41}{10} = -\frac{41}{10}=-\frac{40+1}{10}=\boxed{\boxed{-4\frac{1}{10}}}

In a laboratory experiment a student obtained the following values for the mass density of a metal sample: 5.13 g/cc, 4.98 g/cc,
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

5.104%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The accepted value for the mass density = 4.80 g/cc

Observed values:

5.13 g/cc

4.98 g/cc

5.06 g/cc

5.01 g/cc

Total number of observed values = 4

Mean of the observed values = ( 5.13 + 4.98 + 5.06 + 5.01 ) / 4 = 5.045 g/cc

Now,

The percentage error is calculated as:

\textup{Percent Error}=\frac{\left |\textup{Accepted value-Mean value} \right |}{\left |\textup{Accpeted value} \right |}\times100%

on substituting the values, we get

\textup{Percent Error}=\frac{\left |4.80-5.045\right |}{4.80}\times100%

or

Percentage error = 5.104%

Please solve and explain steps for this problem.
Helen [10]
This means Square root (^1/2). this is kind of hard to read. anyways. 32^(1/2) separates into 4^(1/2) and 8^(1/2), which further separates into 4^(1/2) and 2^(1/2), root 4 becomes 2, their are two root 4's, so you get 2 x 2, and you are left with 2^(1/2) now why go to all this trouble. because now you can multiply the 4 you created (2x2) times, the 7... giving you 28*2^(1/2) now subtract it from the the other one with root 2. -5*2^(1/2), giving you 23*2^(1/2)-...idk what that last bit is. if its a odd number then this is the end of the problem, if you can get it to root 2. then do that and simplify.

The SA is correct but volume is off. 4/3 times pi times radius cubed is 904.7787. When making your ratio you would divide the SA by the volume to get a ratio that is about 1 to 2.

Samir has collected 35% of the skins on Fortnite. If there are 300 total skins, how many more does he need to collect to be at 5
Nataliya [291]

I believe its 45.

Its hard to explain but what I can say is if you subtract the percentage with the total of the skins you would subtract what you had from there and then you would have 45.
